Brentford vs Liverpool: Preview
Brentford form analysis
Brentford’s last five Premier League matches began with a 3-1 away loss to Crystal Palace on December 30th, despite K. Lewis-Potter opening the scoring early. On January 20th, Brentford won a thriller 3-2 at home against Nottingham Forest, overturning deficits through goals from I. Toney, B. Mee and N. Maupay. However, on February 1st away to Tottenham, Brentford lost 3-2 after going ahead – N. Maupay and I. Toney scored but it wasn’t enough.
Looking to bounce back, on February 6th Brentford lost 3-1 at home to Manchester City, going ahead through N. Maupay before conceding three to P. Foden. Most recently on February 10th, Brentford won 2-0 away at Wolves courtesy of goals from C. Nørgaard and I. Toney. Overall, Brentford have shown attacking promise but been inconsistent, mixing big wins and losses. Tightening up defensively could help turn their exciting attack into more consistent results.
Liverpool form analysis
Liverpool began their recent Premier League matches with a thrilling 4-2 home win over Newcastle on January 2nd, with Mo Salah, C. Jones, C. Gakpo and a Salah penalty sealing the win after going behind early. Momentum built on January 21st as Liverpool won 4-0 away at Bournemouth thanks to goals from D. Núñez and Diogo Jota. Liverpool continued their goalscoring form by beating Chelsea 4-1 at home on February 1st – Diogo Jota, C. Bradley, D. Szoboszlai and L. Díaz scored for the Reds.
However, on February 4th Liverpool lost 3-1 away to Arsenal, conceding to B. Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and L. Trossard after equalizing via an own goal. Liverpool returned to winning ways on February 10th, beating Burnley 3-1 at home with goals from Diogo Jota, L. Díaz and D. Núñez. Overall, Liverpool have shown tremendous attacking threat but been vulnerable defensively. Tightening up at the back could make Liverpool sustain the title push if their offense keeps clicking.
Brentford vs Liverpool: Prediction
Liverpool with just one defeat in seventeen Premier League games should be able to secure three points. This is considering the fact the hosts have lost three of their last four home fixtures.
Over four goals were scored on average in both clubs’ previous six Premier League fixtures. This certainly means we are guaranteed a good number of goals this Saturday.
