After delivering another winner in his featured column on Tuesday, SlipsTips is back with a selection from Brentford’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Wednesday night.
Brentford vs Chelsea (Wednesday, 19:30)
Chelsea will be targeting a sixth successive win in all competitions when they make the short trip across the city to take on Brentford in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Graham Potter has yet to taste defeat as Blues boss, with the capital club collecting another three points with a victory at Aston Villa on Sunday.
As for Brentford, they will head into this all-London affair in high spirits following a 2-0 success over Brighton on Friday night, a win that brought a three-game winless run to a halt in the process.
The money has started to come for Chelsea who are now general 8/11 shots, however I’m happy to highlight an alternative offering by heading to the Total Over Booking Points market.
We can get some even-money (1/1) with SkyBet on this capital clash generating 40+ Booking Points and that price makes plenty of appeal.
While Brentford have been one of the more well-disciplined sides in the Premier League this season thus far, averaging 1,40 yellow cards per-game, the abovementioned bet would have paid out in three of the Bees’ last four league games on home turf.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have averaged a sizable 2.56 yell cards per 90 minutes across the opening stretch of the campaign, not to mention four of the Blues’ six games under Graham Potter’s guidance have seen both teams combine to deliver 40+ Booking Points.
It’s also worth pointing out Jarred Gillet has been handed the whistle for this West London derby, an appointment that only adds to the appeal of siding with a card-heavy contest.
The Australian official, who averaged 41.11 Booking Points per-game in the top-flight last season, has dished out zero, six, five and six cards across his four Premier League assignments this term so far, and he should be kept busy under the West London lights on Wednesday night.
With all that in mind, the even-money (SkyBet) on this dust-up featuring 40+ Booking Points stands out given that we have all the necessary ingredients required for a closely-fought battle at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Recommended Bet
- 40+ Booking Points – 1/1 (SkyBet)
