bet365 bonus code: Claim £30 in free bets for Brentford vs Chelsea with SUN365

FRIDAY night in west London pitches the division’s most stubborn side against its leakiest. Brentford are still unbeaten and Chelsea are conceding two goals a game. Brentford drew 2-2 at Bournemouth, Kevin Schade scoring twice, the second a measured chip after James Hill’s back-pass went astray. Keith Andrews‘ side remain unbeaten and did it without Nathan Collins, with 20-year-old Jannik Schuster making his first league start at centre-back. They also played Reading in the cup on Tuesday, so freshness is a question. Chelsea were held 2-2 at home by Hull, Morgan Rogers scoring inside seven minutes before Mohamed Belloumi‘s quickfire double turned it. Joao Pedro rescued a point. Xabi Alonso called his side “soft” without the ball and admitted he does not like the way they are conceding. Chelsea have scored 16 goals in his first five games and are still without a home win against a promoted side in five attempts.

The betting angle: Can Alonso fix a back line that keeps handing leads away? Chelsea’s pattern is set. They lead, they stop competing, they concede. It happened against Leeds in the cup, when a 2-0 deficit became a 6-3 win only after Alonso emptied his bench, and again against Hull, where a seventh-minute lead became a 2-1 deficit inside half an hour. Alonso has named the problem himself: open play, set-pieces, long balls. Brentford are built to exploit exactly that. Andrews’ side are physical, direct and relentless from dead balls, and Schade is scoring the kind of goals that come from defensive hesitation rather than intricate build-up. Bournemouth had ten shots on target to Brentford’s two and still only drew. The counter is that Chelsea keep scoring regardless. Sixteen goals in five games under Alonso, with Cole Palmer, Rogers and Joao Pedro all capable of settling it alone, means backing a Brentford clean sheet is the wrong way in. Expect an open Friday night where Chelsea’s forwards do enough but their defence gives Brentford a way back into it.
