Brentford FC vs Liverpool FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Brentford welcome Liverpool on Saturday, hoping to repeat last season’s memorable victory over the Reds in this fixture. Having remained unbeaten so far, the Bees will fancy their chances against a Liverpool side still struggling for consistency.

Current Standings: Brentford are placed fourth in the league table with 10 points, while Liverpool are in ninth spot with nine points. 

Head-to-Head Record - Liverpool has dominated the short-lived rivalry with Brentford, winning six of the ten encounters, while the Bees have claimed just two wins with two draws. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Brentford FC Preview

Brentford had a hard-fought outing in their last matchday game at Villa Park, where they held the hosts to a 2-2 draw after trailing in the game. Interestingly, it was Brentford that took the lead initially, like they have been doing in the season since the start, becoming the only Premier League side since Liverpool in 2018/19 to open the scoring in each of their first six matches of the season. 

In the process, Kristoffer Ajer and Yehor Yarmoliuk added their names to the scoresheet, becoming the eighth and ninth goalscorers for the side in the competition so far. Kevin Schade remains their top scorer with three goals. The draw helped them extend their unbeaten run in the league to eight games, which is the longest streak the Bees have managed in the competition since 2023.

Only Brighton and Hove Albion (10) have had more different goalscorers than Brentford (nine) in the league so far. 

Eleven of their last 16 PL games have ended in draws (W3 L2).

The Bees are joined second for the fewest goals (6) conceded by a side in the league so far. 

Team News 

Brentford face injury concerns over Kevin Schade and Jannik Schuster, both of whom picked up injuries in their last Premier League outing. Meanwhile, Nathan Collins and Mikkel Damsgaard remain sidelined and will miss the upcoming fixture. 

Brentford Probable starting Lineup

Kelleher (GK); Diouf,  van den Berg, Ajer, Kayode, Yarmolyuk, Janelt, Lewis-Potter,  Jensen, Jaidon  Anthony, Igor Thiago.

Liverpool FC Preview

Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on MD6 was compounded by the absence of key players Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo. However, the decisive moment came in the 62nd minute when Ryan Gravenberch was sent off, leaving the Reds down to 10 men. 

City capitalised by scoring twice in the following 16 minutes to seal the victory. Until the dismissal, it had been a closely contested affair, with Liverpool creating more chances and restricting City to an xG of just 0.08 in the first half. The defeat also ended Iraola’s unbeaten start as Liverpool manager after six games. 

With injuries still a concern and Gravenberch suspended, the Reds face further selection headaches heading into the weekend fixture.

Liverpool have kept three clean sheets in the league so far. 

Liverpool along with Brentford are two of the remaining four teams yet to concede from set-pieces in the league this season. 

The Reds have remained unbeaten in eight of their last nine games in all competitions. 

Team News

Liverpool have several injury concerns heading into the clash, with Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo uncertain after missing the Manchester City game. Dominik Szoboszlai, who also sat out that fixture, could return to the squad, while Ryan Gravenberch is suspended.

Liverpool Probable starting Lineup

Alisson (GK); Milos Kerkez, van Dijk, Jacquet, Araujo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Barcola, Wirtz, Victor Munoz, Lewis Koumas.

BRENTFORD FC vs LIVERPOOL FC
Winning Prediction

Brentford have made a habit of scoring first this season, and another early goal on Saturday would put Liverpool’s depleted side under considerable pressure. The responsibility will therefore fall on the Reds’ defence to keep the Bees at bay. 

While Liverpool hold the overall edge in this rivalry, Brentford went unbeaten in their two league meetings last season, winning one and drawing the other. 

The Bees also claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory in this exact fixture. With Liverpool missing key players and Brentford unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions, the hosts could have a slight edge heading into this clash.

Likewise, major bookmakers favour Brentford to beat Liverpool, offering odds of 2.33  for the hosts, 2.75 for a Liverpool win, and 3.75 for a draw.

We predict Draw(1-1).
