Brentford vs. Chelsea: Match Prediction
Both clubs are among the highest-scoring teams in the current championship. However, as the season nears its end, both teams have noticeably slowed down. Brentford has not won at home in seven consecutive Premier League matches, and in this series, they have only scored more than one goal once, failing to score in four games.
Chelsea faces a similar situation, with no wins in seven league matches away from home. In all these games, the London club has scored only three goals. I anticipate that the upcoming derby will be low-scoring. Notably, no more than three goals were scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head encounters in the league. Therefore, my prediction: Total under 3
