Brentford vs Liverpool Prediction, Lineups, Results & Betting Tips

Brentford got the better of Liverpool in this fixture last season. However, Klopp’s men are a different animal in this campaign as they chase four pieces of silverware before the German departs the club in the summer.

Brentford vs Liverpool Prediction

Brentford haven’t kicked on from last season but they will be reasonably happy as they continue to consolidate their position in the Premier League.

Ivan Toney’s lengthy ban for betting offences has had a huge impact on the team’s performance. Toney has hit the ground running since returning to action and the Bees are expecting a productive end to the season as a result. Toney is widely expected to depart the club at the end of the season but they will be hoping he continues to bang in the goals.

The striker is playing for his place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the European Championship, he will also want to ensure that his performances mean that the elite clubs are willing to stump up a hefty fee come the transfer window.

Liverpool come into this weekend top of the table. They have made that position their own since Arsenal’s dip in form just after Christmas. However, their recent defeat against the Gunners means that Manchester City now sit just two points behind with a game in hand.

Klopp’s side responded to that defeat with a routine 3-1 win over Burnley at Anfield last weekend. There seems to be no lack of focus since the German dropped the bombshell that he would be leaving the club.

The Reds are expected to triumph on Saturday but it is a potential banana skin, as they found out last season. Nevertheless, Liverpool look like a much more solid outfit this time around. They have suffered just two defeats across their 24 Premier League matches so far this season.

For this clash, we are backing both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the match. This bet is best priced with Coral but is widely available.

Liverpool have been largely impressive but there are have been some defensive frailties in recent matches. They have conceded in their last five games across all competitions. Over that period, their opponents are averaging 1.6 goals but the Reds’ rampant attack has helped them score an average of 2.8 goals per game.

Brentford may not be challenging for Europe like they were at this stage last season, but they have shown plenty of promise on home turf. They have scored in 11 of their 12 Premier League matches at the Gtech Community Stadium this season.

As previously mentioned, Toney has been a huge boost for Brentford. He has scored in three of his four matches since returning to the fray. The Bees are averaging exactly two goals per match since his return against Nottingham Forest. The game where he drew a blank was a 3-1 loss to Manchester City.
