Brentford vs Chelsea predictions, odds and betting tips
Chelsea climbed back into the top four on Thursday night. Champions League qualification is their objective, but there is still a long way to go with 24 points still up for grabs. Brentford are still just about in the mix for European qualification as they prepare to take on their fellow west Londoners. Can the Bees spring a surprise at the Gtech Community Stadium?

All odds are provided by our best football betting sites. Odds are subject to change. Brentford vs Chelsea predictions Chelsea finally resumed their Premier League season on Thursday night after a gap of almost three weeks without a match. It was a victorious return for Enzo Maresca’s men, who beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 thanks to an Enzo Fernandez header. Attention now turns to another London derby against Brentford this weekend. That defeat of Tottenham was significant for Chelsea, who climbed above Manchester City and into fourth place. Champions League qualification will almost certainly go down to fifth this term, but with numerous sides in the mix Chelsea have a real fight on their hands. “Tonight was very important, first of all because of the performance.” Maresca said on Thursday. “We know how important it is in this moment to win games, but since we started we try to win games in the way we want and I think tonight the performance was very good and we are happy.” Before the March international break, dissatisfaction had begun to set in at Stamford Bridge. Form had been poor since the middle of December, when a 0-0 draw with Everton kick-started a run which saw Chelsea win just two of 10 top-flight matches. The style of football also drew criticism. Chelsea were accused of being too rigid and safe by their fans, who called for Enzo Maresca to loosen the shackles. A limp 1-0 loss to Arsenal before the internationals did not exactly help strengthen Maresca’s position, but the manager would doubtless point out that his team have now won three of their last four games to get their top-five bid back on track. Chelsea have a tough end to the season coming up. Their final four games are against Liverpool, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. It is therefore vital that they get as many points on the board before then, starting with Sunday’s clash with Brentford. Chelsea have a surprisingly poor record in this fixture in recent years. In seven meetings since Brentford’s promotion, Thomas Frank’s charges have won three and lost just two. They will certainly not be daunted by the challenge of facing Chelsea at the Gtech. The Bees are still just about in the European conversation. Eighth place could be enough to reach the Conference League this term and they are six points shy of that spot.

Bryan Mbeumo to score any time
When Brentford sold Ivan Toney last summer, many wondered how they would cope without their long-time talisman.
The club had got used to playing without the England international the previous season, when he served a lengthy ban for gambling offences. But losing Toney permanently was a blow.
There was no panic at the Gtech, though. The initial idea was for Igor Thiago, signed in January 2024, to replace Toney. Instead, Bryan Mbeumo has taken up the goalscoring mantle.
Mbeumo converted a penalty against Newcastle last time out to take his tally for the campaign to 16 goals. Only Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak and Chris Wood have been more prolific.
Mbeumo has scored three times against Chelsea in the past – he can make it four this weekend.

Moises Caicedo to be booked
Moises Caicedo had a goal chalked off in Chelsea’s victory over Tottenham. That was a shame for the Ecuadorian, who has only scored once this season.
In truth, you are much more likely to find Caicedo’s name in the referee’s notebook than on the scoresheet.
The former Brighton & Hove Albion man has been booked nine times in 2024/25. Only Will Hughes, Flynn Downes and Sasa Lukic have been cautioned more often.
Another yellow would bring a two-game ban. But against a combative Brentford side in a west London derby, Caicedo might not be able to help himself.
