- Home form: Brentford are unbeaten at home in the Premier League 2026-2027 (W2, D1).
- Away form: Liverpool are unbeaten away in the same competition (W2, D1).
Expect goals when the Bees take on the Reds
Brentford have a solid foundation at the Gtech Community Stadium and are yet to lose at home in the Premier League 2026-2027 season, picking up two wins and a draw. They are fourth in the table on 10 points from six games, one point better than seventh-placed Liverpool on nine points from five.
Andoni Iraola has the Reds running at a high intensity and pressure as they are designed to force turnovers and attack quickly in transition. Brentford should be a good test of this plan as they can be compact and well-disciplined in their mid-block while also selective in their press.
The Bees are in good form themselves with two wins and three draws in their last five matches, beating Chelsea 3-0 at home in the Premier League and then drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa away today. They have a dangerous forward in Kevin Schade, who has three goals in five in the Premier League.
Gakpo pulling the strings for Liverpool
Player form
Liverpool have been free-scoring and on a two-game winning streak, but Cody Gakpo has been the man with the Midas touch, having three assists in five Premier League games and three in his last five games overall.
Betting and odds
- Both teams to Score at 1.48 and Over 2.5 goals at 1.55 look a solid play as the last meeting between these teams was a 1-1 draw at Anfield in the Premier League 2025/2026 campaign and another close game looks possible.
- Liverpool are the slight favorites at 2.36, with Brentford at 2.64 and the draw at 3.75.
- We're going for the visitors here as it looks a touch too close to call, but there could be a few goals.
Liverpool look to have the edge
Brentford have been in excellent form, but they are in a tough spot against a team on a winning streak who are superior on paper. Brentford are at odds of 2.64 here, but this should still be a close game and we are going with a double result of a Liverpool win or draw.
Liverpool have won two of their last three games at this ground with one draw and no defeats, but they have been flying with two straight away wins. The Bees have been composed and difficult to break down at this venue, however, so we'll be happy to take the two away points here.
The Bees do have some bite on set plays and second balls and can cause problems when the game gets scrappy, as Liverpool's heavy-metal style of play can be a bit monotonous and a bit too easy to play against when teams know what to expect.
