Chelsea vs Brentford – The Blues were last in action eight days ago when they lost at home to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg.
This is because they did not play over the weekend due to their rivals’ FA Cup commitments. Positively, the players received an additional few days of rest, while Frank Lampard spent more time working out.
The bad news is that, following a run of four straight defeats in competitions, the environment on that practice field was far from ideal.
Chelsea has gone winless in seven subsequent games across all competitions under Lampard, who has lost all four of his games in command.
The team’s performance in this midweek game against Brentford will be closely watched to determine if these extra days of rest have had any positive effects.
With a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, the Bees continued their recent lackluster play and extended their winless record to seven games. Just two goals have been scored in the last four league matches for Thomas Frank’s team.
We are all aware of Chelsea’s offensive difficulties given that they have only scored once in their last six games in all competitions. Will Stamford Bridge witness another low-scoring scenario?
Chelsea vs Brentford – Betting Analysis
The second meeting between these two teams, which took place in mid-October of last year at Gtech Community Stadium, was scoreless.
When they last visited Stamford Bridge, exactly one year ago, Brentford defeated Chelsea 1-4. Only one goal was scored at each end of the previous six head-to-head games between these rivals.
We anticipate Chelsea to be extremely determined to win on Wednesday night and break Lampard’s appalling record during this brief second stint at Stamford Bridge, even though they haven’t exactly been falling like trees lately.
