Brentford Team News
Brentford is definitely playing beyond all expectations. If we count the matches before the break due to the World Cup, the home team is undefeated in the previous 5 matches. A week ago, they played 2:2 against Tottenham, even though they had an advantage of even 2:0, so they showed everyone that they are not a team to be underestimated lightly.
They made another big surprise in the last round when they beat West Ham away 2:0. They are a team that plays very openly and offensively, which is best confirmed by the goal difference of 27:27. By the way, with an average of 3.2 goals per match, Brentford is currently the fourth most efficient team in the league.
There is no doubt that they will play in the same rhythm against Liverpool, so we are definitely expecting a exciting game.
Liverpool Team News
The team from Anfield has 4 wins in the last 4 games in the Premier League, but one gets the impression that this is not the Liverpool we are used to. Liverpool concedes goals in foolish ways, which we could see best a few days ago when Leicester took advantage of “school action.” At the same time, Leicester “gave” Liverpool 2 own goals and thus the victory, so we cannot say that the “reds” fully deserved those 3 points.
However, we must say that Liverpool plays ultra-offensively and creates many scoring opportunities. The problem is that Darwin Nunez can’t seem to find the right rhythm, and there are more and more comments that he is a failed investment.
We must also be objective and say that Klopp has problems with injured players and that Liverpool would undoubtedly look much better if Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino were in the team, for example.

Brentford vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool wants to enter the Champions League and must take advantage of Tottenham’s setback, which lost 2:0 at home to Aston Villa on Sunday. A win against Brentford would bring the “Reds” much closer to fourth place in the table, while losing points would be equivalent to disaster. If Ivan Toney misses this match for Brentford, Liverpool will have a really huge chance of routinely triumphing here.
Nunez needs to start showing that he is not a “missed investment,” and he will hardly have a better opportunity than this one. We expect Salah to show once again that he is the leader of this team, which he undoubtedly deserves with his playing qualities. Brentford did score 4 goals against Tottenham and West Ham, but we have to be realistic and say that it is far beyond their real qualities. Liverpool has been a defensive beast for years, and it’s time to get back to that state. Brentford’s crazy streak has to stop, and we think it will be in this match.
To summarize. If Liverpool wants to keep pace with fourth place and the Champions League, Brentford must not be a serious obstacle.
