Brentford vs Liverpool Betting Picks
Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League is down to four points heading into the weekend but the Reds are expected to get back on track when they visit Brentford on Saturday (10am ET, Fubo Sports).
Liverpool were held to a 1-1 tie at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, their second consecutive draw in the EPL. That result, combined with Arsenal beating Tottenham on Wednesday, has chipped away at their advantage at the top of the table.
Betting sites remain confident they’ll still end up collecting the title at the end of the season, pricing them at -275 to be crowned champions, and they also make Arne Slot’s team heavy favorite to get back to winning ways at Brentford.
The Bees did have the best home record in the division at one point but haven’t been buzzing at the Gtech Stadium more recently, failing to win any of their last four on home soil.
However, they’ve played Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City during that run and showed how dangerous they can be at home when coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with City on Tuesday.
Brentford vs Liverpool Betting Preview: Reds Will Need to Work For Win
Liverpool have enjoyed the majority of their recent trips to London, recording impressive wins at Tottenham and West Ham either side of Christmas.
The Reds, who are unbeaten on the road this season, scored a combined 11 goals across those two games and the level of firepower possessed by the league’s top-scoring team will be tough for Brentford to handle.
Of the teams currently outside the relegation zone, only West Ham (41) have conceded more goals than the Bees (37) so far this season, while Thomas Frank’s men allow more shots per game on average (17.9) than all-but one side in the EPL.
Brentford’s defensive options are a little depleted too, but what they do have going for them is a fearsome attack of their own.
Bryan Mbeumo (13) and Yoane Wissa (11) both rank in the top 10 for EPL goals scored this season and were both on target the last time Brentford beat Liverpool in 2023.
The Reds have kept one shut out in their last seven league games and both teams to score catches the eye when looking at options on Alberta betting sites.
Separately, both teams to score and a Liverpool win are pretty short prices, but combining them gets you into plus odds on new betting sites, with Pinnacle offering +157.
City let Brentford off the hook in their midweek draw, but a ruthless Liverpool side are unlikely to extend them the same kindness.

Brentford vs Liverpool EPL Prediction: Watch Out For Road Warrior Szoboszlai
Liverpool’s wealth of attacking options has been regularly highlighted as one of the big reasons for their success so far this season.
Case in point, Diogo Jota stepping off the bench to score with his first touch against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
The Reds have had 14 different goalscorers across all competitions this season and while the majority of the goals have been scored by Mohamed Salah, there’s some value to be had considering alternative goalscoring options on betting apps.
Dominik Szoboszlai’s price to score or assist on Betway caught the eye with the Hungarian +160 to be involved in a goal.
The Hungarian might only have two goals and two assists in the league, all of which have come on the road, where he’s got more license to get forward.
In his last three away starts in the league, he’s recorded two goals and an assist, while having a combined 14 attempts on goals.
Szoboszlai has an expected goals figure of 4.39 in the league, suggesting he’s getting into some good position when’s he having a shot, while his underlying passing numbers paint a picture of a player heavily involved in the play in key areas.
