BRENTFORD
Brentford are currently 10th on the table and are undefeated in their last 5 matches. They beat West Ham 2-1 on the road last time out and their last home game was a 2-2 draw against Tottenham. Overall at home this season Brentford have won 3 and drawn 4 of their 8 matches and they have drawn their last 3 home games.
Looking at the goals stats, 10 of the 17 Brentford matches would have seen you collect a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals and this drops to a 50% strike rate in their home matches.
LIVERPOOL
Liverpool are 6th on the table after a run of 4 successive victories, most recently beating Leicester 2-1 at home thanks to 2 Leicester own goals. They were in good nick the match before that beating Aston Villa 3-1 on the road back on Boxing Day. Liverpool’s form on the road is what has let them down this season and they have only won 2 of 7 matches drawing 2 and losing 3. They have won their last 2 away games though.
11 of the 16 Liverpool matches have had 3 goals or more in them this season and the last 5 Liverpool games have all delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Brentford and Liverpool played to a thrilling 3-3 draw in this fixture last season with Liverpool winning the reverse fixture 3-0 at home.

Brentford 9/2
Draw 7/2
Liverpool 4/7
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 14/10
The moment I saw this fixture I thought this is going to be a game for goals and although over 2.5 goals is priced a little bit short for me at 4/7 I am prepared to take the bigger price that we get 4 goals or more in the game. This would have arrived in 2 of Liverpool’s last 3 matches, only 50% of Brentford’s last 4 games and of course this fixture last season delivered 6 goals.
There are plenty of other markets to get involved in and another bet I fancy at a shorter price is both teams to score, YES, at 7/10.
You can also get odds on who will score the first goal, as well as the correct score where Brentford 0 Liverpool 2 is trading as a 7/1 favourite.
