Brentford continue their trend of alternating results – following a narrow 1-0 home loss to Manchester City, they bounced back with an impressive 2-0 away win at West Ham United. They now seek successive league victories for the first time since May.
Meanwhile, Liverpool halted their four-game losing streak with a resounding 5-1 midweek win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. However, in the Premier League, the Reds are still under pressure after losing their last three league matches. Notably, they haven’t drawn an away league game this season (W4, L5) and have lost their last four top-flight trips to London.
Head-to-Head and Tactical Angles
Liverpool has dominated recent confrontations with Brentford, winning the last five meetings by a combined score of 12–1. They’ve also found the net in every one of their eight Premier League clashes with Brentford.
For Brentford, having ex-Liverpool players in their squad gives them extra insight into Liverpool’s inner workings — that could be a psychological edge.
Stats and Trends to Watch
- In Brentford’s last four matches, the half-time score has repeated at full-time.
- Five of Brentford’s last seven home Premier League fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals.
- Liverpool’s last three league losses have all featured goals in the final 10 minutes after the Reds had equalized.
- Liverpool remains the only Premier League side yet to record a draw this season.
Key Players and Injuries
For Brentford, forward Igor Thiago has already scored six this season and has opened the scoring in his last three games.
For Liverpool: Cody Gakpo has contributed to eight goals in his last five appearances (6 goals, two assists), with four of those away from home. Injuries might affect Liverpool: Ryan Gravenberch, Jeremie Frimpong, and Alexander Isak are doubts. Brentford may welcome back Aaron Hickey.
Prediction and Conclusion
Given Liverpool’s scoring trend, their Premier League urgency, and the head-to-head record, the visiting Reds are favored to win — but the signs suggest they will concede. Brentford at home have produced games with goals, and their tendency to alternate results means they should be able to trouble Liverpool.
Prediction: Liverpool wins and both teams score. A projected scoreline of 3–1 in favor of Liverpool seems plausible.
