Chelsea take on the visitors Brentford in the round 33 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 26th at Stamford Bridge (London).
No one has laughed at Chelsea this season, except for the laziest of neutral football fans and haters of this team. And the fans of the "Pensioners" themselves are tired of shedding tears over what's happening with their club. It is unlikely that the season will be saved by Frank Lampard. In the last four matches, Chelsea scored only one goal and earned only one point - a draw 0-0 with Liverpool and defeats to Aston Villa (0-2), Brighton (1-2), and Wolverhampton (0-1). Even in a victory of the hosts against strong "Bees", there are big doubts. And what the result will be with a difference of two or more goals, even the most loyal fans of the Londoners hardly believe.

At the moment, Brentford are higher in the table than the opponent and has five more points in their piggy bank than Chelsea. Yes, lately the "Bees" have weakened a bit. And, as an opponent, in the last four matches, they earned only one point. However, in the last round, Thomas Frank managed to break a three-match losing streak and not lose against Aston Villa, gaining momentum (a draw 1-1). Moreover, according to xG, the "Bees" scored almost one goal more than the Birmingham team. And two of Brentford's last three losses were by just one goal.
I think that the handicap (+1.5) for the guests should be covered without any problems in this match. In the last 20 matches of the championship, Brentford has only lost once by a margin of more than one goal. Meanwhile, Chelsea approaches this match with a streak of five winless matches in the Premier League. And in the previous 16 rounds of the championship, the "Pensioners" earned only one victory with a margin of more than one goal - over the crisis-stricken Leicester. In the first round of the current season, the Londoners parted ways with the "Bees" (1-1). And last season, the opponent even beat them at Stamford Bridge (1-4). Since then, Brentford, in my opinion, has only gotten stronger. And as for what's happening with Chelsea this season, you can see it for yourself. I take the handicap (+1.5) for the guests.
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win with +1.5 handicap.
