Leicester City - Brentford predictions

Leicester City are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Premier League, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 3.59, it’s not very likely to happen.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Brentford should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.02, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

The Foxes will be expected to make amends for a huge blunder recorded in the last round. Even though they played in front of their own supporters, The Foxes ended up suffering a disappointing Arsenal defeat and the fact they managed to end the first half on level terms will be not much of a consolation.

Brentford are coming on the back of an exceptional performance in their latest away game at West Ham United. Even though they were clear underdogs at kick-off, they were ahead on half-time and eventually won the game 0:1.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Foxes have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

The Bees have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

Well within the relegation zone, The Foxes begin to sweat. Their Premier League status is under doubt and The Bees are coming to King Power Stadium this Friday to rub salt into their wounds. With 3.59 betting odds for a home win, it’s highly unlikely the hosts will be able to avoid anything other than another defeat.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Brentford walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 2.02 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
