Brentford vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-01-17 15:00.
[p]Brentford prepare for another gruelling Premier League clash when they host table-topping Liverpool, with the form guide firmly against them having won just one of their last eight games (D2, L5). There couldâve easily been another loss on that record in their midweek outing, which saw them trailing 2-0 at home to Manchester City, but a spirited comeback saw them equalise in the 92nd minute to draw 2-2.[/p]
[p]Whilst thatâs encouraging, Brentfordâs current four-game winless run at home (D1, L3) is worrying considering they were victorious in nine of their first ten home games this campaign (D1). A fast start would definitely aid the nerves of manager Thomas Frank, but that wouldnât mean theyâre out of the woods at that point, since no side has lost more Premier League games after scoring first this season than the Beesâ five.[/p]
[p]Visitors Liverpool also had to battle back and share the spoils in their last outing, coming from behind to rescue a 1-1 draw away to high-flying Nottingham Forest. Manager Arne Slot has now seen his team win just one of their four games in 2025 (D2, L1), which is in stark contrast to the 40 wins, nine draws, and one defeat in his 50 managerial outings in 2024 (Feyenoord + Liverpool).[/p]
[p]That stalemate at Forest did at least mean that Liverpool have now gone their first ten away league games unbeaten this campaign (W7, D3), a record bettered only twice before from the start of a top-flight season. The Reds should therefore hit the road full of confidence despite their recent âslumpâ, especially since theyâve won nine of their last 11 H2Hs against Brentford (D1, L1). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Captain Christian NĂžrgaard netted the decisive equaliser against City, and heâll look to step up again since his three goals this season have all come at home and brought positive results (W2, D1). He might have to sit deep and contend with Liverpoolâs Diogo Jota, whoâll be pushing for a start with goals in his last two games and having registered five goal contributions in his previous seven encounters with Brentford (G3, A2).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Brentford have scored a league-high 16 first half Premier League home goals this season.[/p]
