Last season, Chelsea finished 4th with 69 points, securing a Champions League spot. They also triumphed 4-1 over Spanish side Betis in the Europa Conference League final, claiming their first-ever title in the competition. This year, in the revamped Club World Cup final, Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to win the inaugural edition, marking an impressive collection of trophies across competitions.

This season, Chelsea has maintained an unbeaten record with 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 matches, accumulating 7 points and currently ranking 2nd. They drew 0-0 at home against Crystal Palace in the opening round, then convincingly defeated West Ham 5-1 away in Round 2, followed by a 2-0 home victory over Fulham, marking a 2-match winning streak in the league.
For this upcoming match, betting markets mostly offer Chelsea as a 0.75-goal favorite, reflecting strong support for the visitors. In terms of squad value, Brentford is valued at €392 million, while Chelsea stands at €1.08 billion—nearly three times higher—indicating a clear advantage in team strength. After selling Madueke, Nkunku, and Felix, Chelsea has invested in young forwards such as João Pedro, Benoît Gittens, and Ganacho, adding considerable energy to their attack.
