This Brentford vs Liverpool preview features a match where Liverpool travels to the Gtech Community Stadium for a Saturday evening kick-off against Brentford, desperate to halt an alarming slide in their domestic form. While the Reds are coming off a sensational 5-1 midweek victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, Arne Slot’s side has lost their last three consecutive Premier League matches. This poor run has seen the reigning champions drop to third, and they face a Brentford side that knows how to frustrate the league’s elite.
Thomas Frank’s Bees secured a vital 2-0 away win against West Ham last Monday, a result that boosted them to 13th in the table. This match preview highlights a classic clash of styles: Liverpool’s wounded, possession-heavy attack against a pragmatic, counter-attacking Brentford side. For punters, the key question is whether Liverpool’s domestic woes will continue or if their European form will translate back home, and Betano has all the markets for this intriguing fixture.

Key Stats
- Liverpool’s H2H Dominance: After failing to win in their first three Premier League meetings (W1, D1, L1), Liverpool has since won their last five consecutive encounters against Brentford.
- The Bees’ Counter-Threat: Brentford has excelled on the counter-attack this season. With Igor Thiago’s pace, they pose a significant threat to a Liverpool defence that has looked vulnerable in transition.
- Reds’ Leaky Defence: Liverpool has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five Premier League matches. Brentford, meanwhile, has scored in three of their last four home games.
Correct Score Prediction
Correct Score: Brentford 1-2 Liverpool
I am backing Liverpool to snap their losing streak with a narrow 2-1 win. The Reds’ confidence will be restored after their 5-1 demolition of Frankfurt, and they simply have too much attacking quality to be kept quiet for long, even if Mohamed Salah’s form has dipped. Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, and Dominik Szoboszlai will create chances.
However, a clean sheet looks highly unlikely. Brentford’s style is perfectly suited to exploit Liverpool’s high line, and Igor Thiago will be a handful for Van Dijk and Konate. Furthermore, Brentford will be buoyed by the presence of former Reds captain Jordan Henderson in their midfield. The Bees will score, but Liverpool’s desperate need for three points and their superior firepower should see them edge a tight, entertaining match. This looks like a great value bet on the Betano correct score market.
