Brentford vs Liverpool Preview

Mon, Jan 2nd. 17:30 (UK time)

Both of these teams were in action on Friday night. Brentford secured a comfortable victory over a lacklustre West Ham side. In contrast, Liverpool earned a hard-fought victory over Leicester at Anfield.

Brentford are currently in 9th and look set to avoid the second-season curse even at this early stage. The Bees finished 13th last season. They will be looking to finish even higher this season and have their sights firmly set on European football.

Liverpool look unlikely to challenge for the league this season. They pushed Man City to the final day last time around but are currently in 6th place. Klopp’s side have steadily improved and they will be confident of chasing down a few of the teams above them in the table.

Cody Gakpo has been brought in to bolster their attacking options. If they can get Darwin Nunez firing, they look like a scary prospect when going forward. Momentum will be key for Liverpool going forward. They will want to build on their performance against Aston Villa.

The match between these sides in London last season ended 3-3. We could be set for another entertaining affair here.

Brentford vs Liverpool Bet Builder

Only Everton are conceding more shots per game than Brentford this season. The Bees’ opponents are averaging 16.06 shots a match. They are conceding the most shots in the league when playing at home. They are conceding 15.25 shots per game in front of their own fans. So Liverpool should have a wealth of opportunities on Monday.

Liverpool had 16 and 27 shots against Thomas Frank’s side last season. They are averaging 17.31 shots per game in the league this season. They also average 17.5 shots in the last five matches where they have been similarly priced to win. Over 16.5 shots for the visitors looks a good bet.

There were 29 throws in this fixture last season and 38 throws in the game at Anfield. Liverpool’s last four away matches have seen 34 throws or less. Expect Klopp’s side to dictate the pace of the game and play through the Brentford press. This will mean fewer throws. Since the World CUp break, Liverpool’s matches have seen 29 and 33 throws.

Brentford’s home matches are averaging 38.75 throws per game. This average drops to 35.4 in their last five matches where they have been similarly priced to win. The Bees have played four of the ‘big-six’ this season. Those matches are averaging 34.75 throws.

Under 41.5 throws in the match coupled with Liverpool shots gives us a price of 2.20 with bet365.
