The hosts score an average of 1.8 goals at home, while the visitors concede 2.0 away from home; the expected goals output is also higher for Brentford — 1.9 versus 1.25.

In Chelsea’s five away matches, the average figures are 3.2 corners for the team and 5.6 for their opponents, with an overall total of 8.8 and the line beaten twice in five games; no consistent run can be identified. The model recommends over 8.5 corners with a rating of 4/5; the calculated probability is not provided, so this is a statistical prediction rather than a guarantee of the outcome.

In five home matches, Brentford have averaged 4.6 shots on target, while their opponents have averaged 3.6, giving an overall total of 8.2; the 7.5 line was beaten in three matches, with one of the samples showing a run of three games above this mark.

The model has selected over 7.5 with a rating of 4/5 and no calculated probability provided; the prediction is supported most strongly by Chelsea’s overall form and away sample, while the head-to-head meetings produced an over in two of the four matches considered, so the rating does not guarantee the result.
