Chelsea vs Brentford: Expect the home side to win and a Total Under

Chelsea will play host to Brentford in round 31 of the English Championship at home. Can Thomas Tuchel's side pick up their sixth successive victory in the tournament?

Chelsea's last opponents in the English league were Newcastle United. It was a difficult encounter for the Aristocrats. In the last stretch, Havertz scored the only goal of the game. Thus, the Londoners extended their winning streak in the EPL to five games. Chelsea is sitting in third place in the standings with 59 points. After the Magpies game, Chelsea had two successful away matches. First, Tuchel's men thrashed Lille and qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals. Before the national team break, the Aristocrats scored two unanswered goals against Middlesbrough to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.

After two victories over Norwich City (3:1) and Burnley (2:0), Brentford disappointed their fans. They played away against Leicester City and failed to pick up any points (1:2). After 30 games, they have 30 points. Brentford is 15th in the English Premier League table.

We consider Chelsea the favourite for the upcoming match. The London club has accomplished two important goals to qualify for the next stages of the Champions League and the FA Cup. Now, Thomas Tuchel's side should be able to focus properly on their EPL performances and pick up their sixth consecutive victory. We believe the Aristocrats will win and it will be a draw as in the previous two head-to-head encounters.
