Brentford vs Leicester prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-11-29 15:00.
[p]Morale should be high in the Brentford camp as they ended a run of five straight Premier League away defeats by holding Everton to a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park last weekend, despite playing the bulk of the game with just ten men. They’ll be confident of building on that back at the Gtech Community Stadium where the Bees have won 16 points and scored 18 Premier League goals, both of which are league bests coming into the round. [/p]
[p]The Bees are now chasing a fourth consecutive Premier League home win for the first time ever, not least because only two points separate them from the top-six heading into the weekend. Thomas Frank’s men may not be as confident as expected ahead of the visit of Leicester though, as Brentford are winless in all four top-flight H2Hs (D2, L2).  [/p]
[p]After a defeat to Chelsea last week, Steve Cooper became just the second Premier League manager to be sacked this term, despite the fact that Leicseter sit above the relegation zone. A miserable five-match winless run across all competitions proved the Welshman’s downfall (D1, L4), with Ruud van Nistelrooy the favourite to replace him at the King Power. However, with no appointment immediately imminent, First Team Coach Ben Dawson is set to take charge in the interim. [/p]
[p]Whoever is in charge will be tasked with not only trying to lift the confidence of this Leicester group but also trying to break a London hoodoo hanging over the club. That’s because the Foxes have won just one of their last 13 Premier League away games against London sides (D3, L9), worse yet conceding 2+ goals on each of their last five top-flight visits to the capital (D1, L4).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bryan Mbeumo has either scored or assisted in his last six league appearances at the Gtech Community Stadium (G7, A1). Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored four goals from five shots on target in the Premier League this season, the joint-best shot on target conversion of any player ahead of the round with 5+ efforts (80%).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Coming into the round, no team has scored more first-half Premier League goals than Brentford (14), while no team have scored fewer in this period than Leicester (4).[/p]
