Betting on Leeds United
Leeds are currently in fourteenth place in the Premier League standings. So far this season, Jesse Marsh’s team has 4 wins, 5 ties and 9 losses.
In the last five rounds, the Whites have not managed to get a win and will surely come to the Leeds United vs Brentford match looking for the three points to at least equal Nottingham Forest in terms of positions. As the tournament still has teams very close in terms of points, a win could mean a significant advance in the competition.
In their last match against Cardiff in the FA Cup, Leeds won in one of the most exciting duels of the day. The final score of the game was 5-2 and the main protagonists of the show were Wilfried Gnonto and Patrick Bamford, who scored two goals each.
In addition to the above, Rodrigo scored a goal that left the opposing goalkeeper lying on the ground in the 36th minute. This was a well-rounded performance that Leeds will want to repeat against Brentford in the league.
Possible Leeds United lineup (4-2-3-1): Illan Meslier, Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk, Luke Ailing, Marc Roca, Wilfried Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson, Crisencio Summerville, Rodrigo.
Betting on Brentford F.C.
In their most recent match against Bournemouth, Brentford won 2-0 in a very close game where a defensive error and a goal by Ivan Toney from the penalty spot opened the scoring. On the other hand, the team managed by Thomas Frank is in eighth place in the Premier League with 29 points from 7 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats.
For this new Leeds United vs. Brentford clash, it is expected that the bees will need to bring out the best of their arsenal at home to beat the home side. They have won all five of their most recent games, and they are moving up the English tournament rankings.
Possible Brentford lineup (3-5-2): David Raya; Zanka, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee; Mads Roeslev, Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard, Rico Henry; Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney.
JefeBet Prediction
In view of its recent results, we believe that in this Leeds United vs Brentford the visiting team will take the victory. The season has been excellent for Thomas Frank’s team, and they still have a chance to accomplish significant goals like qualifying for an international competition next season.
Leeds, on the other hand, have been ineffective in recent games and inconsistent throughout this campaign. However, we believe the support of their home crowd will be crucial.
Prediction: Brentford win 1-0.
