Brentford vs Chelsea prediction and odds: Aubameyang tipped to keep up goalscoring form ahead of Premier League clash

Chelsea will be looking to continue their fine form under new boss Graham Potter as they take the short 30-minute trip to the Brentford Community Stadium to face a Brentford side who beat Potter's previous employers at the weekend. The Blues have not lost under Potter yet and have only conceded two goals in the early stages of his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are the favourites with Betfred at 3/4 while the hosts are 19/5 and a draw is 3/1 ahead of the Premier League clash. The Bees are looking to win back-to-back league games against Chelsea for the first time since February 1939 after winning at Stamford Bridge 4-1 last season.

Brentford, meanwhile, returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion after a three-match winless run which included conceding eight goals in that time. The Bees will be looking to pick up their first back-to-back league of the season and their first since May.

Betting angles

Brentford have finished six of their 11 matches in all competitions with both teams scoring with all of them happening in Premier League matches and two in their last five. For Chelsea, it is six in 13 in all competitions including five from their nine league outings but in their current five-match winning run, the last four have finished win-to-nil. No on both teams to score is evens.

Potter's side average 10.6 total corners in the Premier League which is the third highest but have finished their last seven matches in all competitions under 8.5 total corners while Frank's side average 9.4 this season in the league and have finished over 10.5 total corners in their last three outings. Under 9.5 total corners is 6/5.

The hosts have only ever gone above 42.5 booking points once this season which was against Fulham back in August while Chelsea average 4.8 bookings in their last five matches in all competitions although one includes AC Milan picking up seven cards including a sending off. Under 42.5 booking points is 4/11.

Player to watch

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has picked up three goals in his last four appearances for Chelsea which has demonstrated just how well he has been under Potter. The Gabon international is clearly enjoying the managerial change and life at Stamford Bridge so would make sense to keep an eye on him. He is 11/8 to score anytime.
