Interesting London derby action takes place in the Premier League on Saturday, as Chelsea welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge. The hosts will be favored in the betting after going three without a defeat in the top-flight, but the Bees bounced back to form with a victory last weekend.
Before Betting On Chelsea vs Brentford
Chelsea’s season is finally showing signs of life at this stage, as the Blues have moved up the league standings after going three without a defeat in the competition. Chelsea have won twice over that period, but they will likely be ruing a missed opportunity last time out after they threw away a 2-0 advantage against Arsenal before drawing 2-2.
Brentford endured a miserable run after a positive start to the season, but they finally got back on track with a second victory of the campaign against Burnley last weekend. The Bees will quickly be looking to extend that momentum with a second straight success this weekend, which could leave them near the top half of the standings after this round.
The Bees certainly hold the advantage in the previous meetings between the sides, as they have won two of the previous three, and they have gone unbeaten across that sequence. Both of their victories have been recorded at Stamford Bridge, and they could come the first team in Premier League history to win three successive games at Chelsea’s home this weekend.
The Blues have struggled in London derbies across recent seasons, as they have landed just two victories in 12 matches. Over that period, they have suffered six defeats. That is a huge contrast to Brentford’s record in derbies, as they have gone 12 without defeat.
