- Liverpool have won all 5 of their last 5 Premier League meetings with Brentford, including a 2-0 away win 9 months ago.
- Liverpool have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 away games in the Premier League, but have not won their last 3 away matches in all competitions.
Bees can sting Reds
Liverpool are favorites to beat Brentford at odds of 1.76 for Saturday’s away game at the Gtech Community Stadium, but the hosts will take the field as 4.64 long shots and the tie is also available at a reasonable 4.34.
Arne Slot’s men occupy fourth place in the Premier League table with 15 points after eight games, but the visitors have been in poor form of late, losing four in a row in all competitions and failing to win any of their last three away matches.
The Brentford vs Liverpool preview shows that Bees boss Keith Andrews, who was promoted from within the club, has done a decent job so far as the Bees have maintained their aggressive, all-action style of play, which relies heavily on transitions and set-piece routines. They have lost only one of their four home Premier League games this term, winning two and drawing one, and should be a tough test for a Liverpool side that have not won their previous three games on the road.
In-form Gakpo can get the better of Bees
Brentford have a good chance of at least avoiding defeat this Saturday as they are in much better form than Liverpool, who lost to Manchester United, Chelsea and Galatasaray in their recent defeats.
Arne Slot’s side are playing patient, possession-based soccer that revolves around creating central overloads, playing inverted full-backs, and pressing in a disciplined, trigger-based way.
Liverpool’s possession style should be in stark contrast to Brentford’s fluid, direct approach that thrives on creating chaos in the box via long throws and dead balls.
According to our Brentford vs Liverpool prediction, Igor Thiago has been their key man up front with five Premier League goals in eight appearances this year and three of Brentford's last seven goals. Cody Gakpo tops Liverpool’s scoring table with three goals in eight Premier League matches, and has bagged two of Liverpool's last five goals.
Over 2.5 goals likely
Brentford average 1.50 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per home game in the Premier League while Liverpool have scored six times in four away league fixtures.
The market for Over 2.5 is extremely popular at 1.49, but this Brentford vs Liverpool betting tips article suggests it’s worth taking at those low odds as we expect the goals to flow in this clash of two contrasting styles.
We are taking Liverpool to squeeze out a win in this game because of their dominance in this fixture, although the Brentford vs Liverpool prediction points out it is likely to be closer than the odds suggest because of their current poor run of results.
