Chelsea will play on short rest after beating Tottenham on Thursday, but that win will surely help lift their spirits for this visit to Brentford on Sunday.
The Blues' goal of finishing in the top four won't be secured anytime soon, with Manchester City and Newcastle right behind them. To help secure that goal, they will need Cole Palmer to heat up again for the match against the Bees.
Here is my Brentford vs. Chelsea prediction and Premier League odds for today’s match.

Brentford Prediction
There’s not much the Bees can do this season. They’re already safe from relegation and too far from European competition to realistically aim for a spot. However, they can still surprise you with a nice mystery, especially when you look at their home and away splits.
Brentford was one of the best home sides in the Premier League, winning seven of their first eight matches at Gtech Community Stadium. But then, on December 21, they lost to Nottingham Forest, and everything changed. Since then, they’ve drawn twice and lost five times at home, and will now host Chelsea without recording a single win this year at their home ground.
Still, they sit 11th in the table and have not fallen further because they miraculously started winning on the road. How is that possible? Well, the clues point to the schedule. The same teams they beat at home early in the season are now the ones losing when Brentford plays on the road.
Leicester City, Southampton, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth have all lost twice to the Bees. Those four teams account for 8 of Brentford’s 12 wins this season, meaning they haven’t truly competed against the bigger sides. Unfortunately for them, Chelsea is one of those.
Chelsea Prediction
After a huge win against Tottenham on Thursday, Chelsea needs to keep the momentum going and turn it into a winning streak if they want to hold onto fourth place and the Champions League berth that comes with it. Manchester City and Newcastle will likely push them for it until the end of the season.
The problem for Chelsea lies in their performance on the road. They’ve lost their last four away matches, managing to score only two goals combined. Part of the issue is Cole Palmer, who has seen his form drop significantly in 2025. Palmer, once among the top goalscorers at the start of the season, scored his last Premier League goal on January 14. This 8-game scoreless streak has had a negative impact on the team.
Luckily, Enzo Fernandez’s form has improved since then, and Chelsea's chances of securing a top-four spot haven’t suffered too much.
Against Brentford, the Blues have an opportunity to solidify their position. The previous matchup at Stamford Bridge ended with a 2-1 Blues victory over the Bees.
Brentford vs. Chelsea Pick
Brentford has two players among the top Premier League scorers, Bryan Mbeumo (16) and Yoane Wissa (14), but they haven’t been able to produce much at home lately, just like the rest of the team.
Chelsea has struggled on the road this season, with a lackluster 6-3-6 record for a top team. More importantly, they aren’t scoring much either. The result has been the same in their last three league matches: 1-0 (two Chelsea wins, one loss).
Given both teams' low production in these scenarios, the best approach would be to bet on the under.
