Brentford v Liverpool Betting Tips [18 January 2025]

Brentford and Liverpool will face off this Saturday, eyeing a liftoff after dropping points in the last Premier League outings. Heading into this game hosted by Brentford, the hosts are 10th in the standings and Liverpool top. Read on for our prediction of the match. 

Brentford put up a great late showing to draw champions Manchester City 2-2. They did that in the final eight minutes of a game they were trailing 2-0 away from home. 

That performance should pump up their confidence, with the Bees having won just once in eight matches. That win was against the bottom side, Southampton and now they take aim at the top side.

Liverpool were also handed a tough run by the season’s surprise team, Nottingham Forest. The Reds had to come from behind on the road to draw 1-1 courtesy of Diogo Jota’s 66th minute strike. 

Arne Slot’s charges are left with one win now in their last four matches, that being against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup. It was a 4-0 win that also happens to be their only clean sheet in those four matches. 

In their last two away matches also, Liverpool are winless and have one clean sheet in five on the road.

Brentford will feel confident about this game, after their comeback to draw with Manchester City away. Hosting this match has always had a guarantee for Brentford to score, yet they meet another good attacking side.

Liverpool rarely fail to hit the target and have one of the best attacks in the league at the moment. The Reds have, however, shown defensive cracks and these will be pronounced, facing a side that has done well at home this season. Our prediction for Brentford v Liverpool is for both teams to score.
