Chelsea aim to move closer to the Champions League berth and given Brentford’s modest away record, we predict that the Blues will emerge triumphant (2-1) in Saturday’s clash. The Blues were struggling to find their form during the festive fixtures, with boss Enzo Maresca paying price for the poor results. Liam Rosenior is on a quest to bring glory days back to Stamford Bridge and their expected goals of 1.80 at home are surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Brentford’s visit. Liam Rosenior can count on key players, which definitely supports our betting angle.
The Bees, on the other hand, are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they have already suffered 7 defeats on the road this season. As Brentford have lost 70% of their away games, we are not tempted to place our bets on the visiting team. Dango Ouattara is back from international duty, but the Burkina Faso forward is unlikely to start.
Given Brentford’s difficulties on the road and Chelsea’s need for points, Home Win is our main betting tip for this local derby. Additionally, Over 1.5 (77% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (54%) markets seem appealing.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
