Brentford vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 16/03/2023, 14:12  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Brentford remains in the chase for a place in Europe and they will be looking to enhance their chances when they play host to Leicester City in their next Premier League match. Heading into this game, Brentford have registered 41 points, in eighth place and take on a Leicester City side with 24 points, in 16th spot. Brentford beat Southampton 2-0 in their last outing, to recover from their loss against Everton. This was the second time in three matches that they scored more than a goal but their first clean sheet in five matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches and they have suffered just one loss in the last 14 games in the league. At home, Brentford are unbeaten in the last nine league games, winning five. In the last five home matches, they have scored two or more goals in four of their last five.

Leicester City are coming from a 3-1 loss at home to Chelsea. Their form has deteriorated and that was their fifth straight defeat. The loss left them just outside the relegation region on goal difference. They will be keen not to drop into the red one, as that could happen with a loss here. Already, the Foxes have second poorest defence in the league, having conceded 46. However, no side has scored more than Leicester City in the bottom half. Things haven't worked well for them in the last five games though, getting eliminated from the FA Cup, and failing to score in three of the last five matches. They’ve also conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches. Away from home, Leicester have lost six times in the last 10 league matches and they can only hope for an extension of their run against Brentford, having gone unbeaten in five straight meetings.
