Match analysis

Chelsea are scoring 3.0 goals a game this season and Brentford 2.6, a combined rate that has Superior backing Over 1.5 goals at 1.20 for their meeting on 18 September, priced at 82 percent. Two of the last three head-to-head meetings between these sides also cleared this line comfortably.

Chelsea are scoring 3.0 goals a game this season

That rate has shown up recently too, with a 6-3 win and a 4-3 win inside their last five matches, while Brentford have scored thirteen goals in their own last five including a 6-1 away win. Two of the last three head-to-head meetings passed this line comfortably, a 2-2 draw and a 0-2 Chelsea win, and the one exception was a 0-0 draw eighteen months ago that neither side's current attack resembles.

Neither attack turned up the last time these two met

That result is the clearest evidence this line can fail, and both defenses have had quiet nights too: Brentford kept a clean sheet in their last home game and Chelsea's own defense has conceded ten goals in five matches but also shut out an opponent as recently as their last outing. If either side's attack goes quiet the way it did in that scoreless meeting, the goals needed to clear 1.5 simply do not arrive.
