Liverpool vs Brentford Predictions and Betting Tips

Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield on the final day, and this has not been the season the Reds were hoping for. Sitting 5th on 59 points with 12 defeats, Liverpool’s form has been patchy – W4 D2 L4 in the last 10. Brentford, in 9th on 52 points, have been the draw specialists of the league recently with 6 draws in their last 10. This one could be tighter than you think.

Key Stats

Mohamed Salah remains Liverpool’s top projected goalscorer at 0.39 goals/game with 2.43 shots and 0.82 SOT per game. Alexander Isak matches that 0.39 goals/game projection and leads the way on SOT with 0.95 per game. Cody Gakpo (2.32 shots/game) and Dominik Szoboszlai (1.94 shots/game) add plenty of threat from midfield.

For Brentford, Igor Thiago is the danger man – projected for 0.53 goals/game from 2.04 shots (1.04 SOT). He also leads the league in fouls committed with 1.78 per game and is the Bees’ fouls leader over the last 10 with 25 total (2.50/game). Kevin Schade (0.23 goals/game, 1.47 shots) offers pace on the break.

Liverpool’s recent form (WLDLWWWLDL) includes a 4-2 loss at Villa last time out. Brentford’s WDDDDDLWLD run shows they are hard to beat but rarely blow teams away.

Statz Projections

The Statz projections have Liverpool edging this one: 1.83 projected goals from 15.37 shots (4.78 on target), with 5.49 corners. Brentford are projected for 1.41 goals from 10.30 shots (3.59 on target) and 4.06 corners. Liverpool project for just 7.44 fouls and 1.23 yellows, while Brentford are expected to commit 8.95 fouls and pick up 1.66 yellows. A combined projection of 3.24 goals suggests this should have action at both ends.

Referee

Darren England is the man in the middle. Across 22 games this season, he averages 4.45 yellows and 22.23 fouls per game. That is a card-heavy ref – worth noting for your bet builder if you fancy cards markets.

Verdict

Liverpool should have enough at Anfield, but this is not the Liverpool of old and Brentford are a stubborn side who love a draw. The projections favour the Reds, and with Darren England averaging nearly 4.5 yellows per game, the fouls-based legs in the bet builder look solid. Expect a scrappy but entertaining final day affair.
