Brentford vs Liverpool Head-to-Head
Since Brentford’s promotion ahead of the 2021-22 season, Liverpool have gotten the better EPL results in this fixture. Liverpool are 3-1-1 vs Brentford in the Premier League and the Reds picked up a 3-0 win at Anfield back in November.
All-time, Liverpool hold a 6-1-1 record vs Brentford. Most Brentford vs Liverpool predictions will take into account the fact that the Bees have never shut out Liverpool.
Brentford Keep First Clean Sheet Since October
Brentford kept their first clean sheet in their last 15 matches on Saturday. Goalkeeper Mark Flekken was the man of the match in the 2-0 victory at Wolves. It was a much needed win for Brentford, who moved into 14th place in the Premier League standings.
Midfielder Christian Norgaard opened up the scoring on a first half header. After absorbing a bunch of pressure from Wolves, Ivan Toney doubled the Bees’ lead in the second half.
This was also the first time in six matches Neal Maupay failed to get on the scoresheet. Maupay and Toney have been in good form lately and Brentford have scored in each of their last nine games. Toney served a gambling suspension from the beginning of the season until January but he’s one of the Premier League’s better strikers.
Although it’s been a difficult season for Thomas Frank’s Bees, they’re capable of causing problems for most teams in the league.
Unfortunately, Brentford do have some Premiere League players out long term including Rico Henry and Josh Dasilva. Forward Bryan Mbeumo is also expected to be out until mid March while Aaron Hickey and Kevin Schade are considered day-to-day.
Headers Hand Liverpool Win at Burnley
Following a 3-1 loss to Arsenal, Liverpool bounced back with a 3-1 win of their own vs Burnley last Saturday. The Reds scored on three headers, as each member of the front three found the net. Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nuñez all got on the scoresheet as Liverpool grabbed an important three points.
In Jurgen Klopp’s final season as Liverpool manager, the Reds are motivated to win a second Premier League title in the last five seasons.
Currently, the English Premier League betting lines price Liverpool at +250 odds to win the league. With Mo Salah out with a hamstring injury at the moment, that task becomes more complicated. Salah has scored 14 league goals and provided eight assists and he could be back in a couple of weeks.
Allison and Dominik Szoboszlai missed out vs Burnley due to illnesses and their statuses are worth monitoring as the week goes on. Meanwhile, Salah, Thiago and Joel Matip will both be out for this one.
Ibrahima Konate should return to the starting lineup after the center back served a suspension vs Burnley. Jota has scored in three of Liverpool’s last four EPL games and could continue to step up with Salah out.
