Betting on Brentford
Brentford continues its great season in the Premier League and last weekend it returned to winning ways to move closer to the European places. Thanks to last Wednesday’s win in a rescheduled game against Southampton, Thomas Frank’s side have lost just one of their last 14 league games and sit eighth on 41 points, just one behind Brighton and Liverpool in continental places.
In fact, the Bees might have been in a better position were it not for the fact that they have tied eleven games, the same number as Newcastle. In addition, they are the sixth-best defense in the circuit with 33 goals conceded and have not scored in only six games.
Brentford have also performed well at home, taking 26 points from a possible 39, and are undefeated in nine games in front of their fans.
Probable lineup (4-4-3): David Raya; Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee, Rico Henry; Mikkel Damsgaard, Christian Norgaard, Mathias Jensen; Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, Yoane Wissa.
Betting on Leicester
The World Cup break did not bring many positives for Leicester, who have been in free fall since the end of December and have moved dangerously close to the relegation places. In addition to four consecutive Premier League defeats, the Foxes have lost eight of their last 11 matches to sit 16th in the standings with 24 points.
The visiting team is tied with West Ham and Bournemouth in the standings with the same number of points, the latter team being the owner of the third relegation place to the Championship due as they have the worst goal difference of the three teams. Brendan Rodgers’ side have conceded the third most goals of the season with 46, while in a string of four defeats they conceded eight and scored just one goal.
On the road, Leicester have won just 12 out of a possible 39 and have one win and four defeats in their last five away games. In this condition, they have conceded 29 of the 46 goals they have registered.
Probable Leicester lineup (3-4-3): Danny Ward; Timothy Castagne, Harry Souttar, Daniel Amartey; Ricardo Pereira, Nampalys Mendy, Timothy Castagne, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall; James Maddison, Patson Daka, Kelechi Iheanacho.
JefeBet Prediction
Leicester are always tricky opponents, but the Foxes have a good time playing well below average and Brentford have done the opposite.
Brentford is on its way to the European places and this looks like the perfect opportunity to take another three points than at home and against a club that has been in free fall for the last couple of months. However, Leicester have never lost to Brentford, with five wins and two draws in their seven previous meetings.
Prediction: Brentford to win (BRE 2 – LEI 1).
