Liverpool vs Brentford Predictions

Can Liverpool Dominate Brentford at Anfield and Maintain Their Perfect Start?

• Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in their opening Premier League match.
• Brentford have failed to win at Anfield since 1937.
• Diogo Jota has scored in consecutive games for Liverpool, including the season opener.

Best Bet

Liverpool are set to host Brentford at Anfield this Sunday, with both teams looking to extend their unbeaten runs in the early stages of the Premier League season. Under the guidance of their new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool secured a comfortable 2-0 victory against newly promoted Ipswich Town in their opening match. Meanwhile, Brentford, led by Thomas Frank, edged out Crystal Palace with a 2-1 win. This match will mark Slot’s first competitive fixture at Anfield, and the anticipation is high as the Reds aim to keep their winning streak alive against a resilient Brentford side.

Liverpool are well-positioned to secure a win without conceding, making this our top betting prediction for the match. The rationale behind backing Liverpool to win to nil lies in their solid defensive record and Brentford’s potential struggles in attack, especially in the absence of their talisman, Ivan Toney.

Liverpool’s defence has shown promise, with key players like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate forming a formidable partnership at the back. The Reds kept a clean sheet in their opener against Ipswich, a game where they dominated possession (62%) and limited their opponents to just two shots on target. Their ability to control the game from the back, combined with Alisson’s reliability in goal, makes it difficult for opposing teams to break them down, especially at Anfield, where Liverpool rarely concede.

On the other side, Brentford are missing some crucial players, including Toney, who is often the focal point of their attack. While Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa managed to find the back of the net against Crystal Palace, they were far from clinical, as the Bees converted just two of their nine shots. Moreover, Brentford have struggled historically at Anfield, with their last victory on this ground dating back to before the Second World War.

Liverpool’s defensive strength, paired with Brentford’s less potent attack in Toney’s absence, suggests that a home win without conceding is a strong possibility. Slot’s men will likely control the game and stifle Brentford’s forward movements, making a clean sheet a reasonable expectation.

BettingTips4You.com expert Tyler Morris sums it up: “Liverpool have shown they can dominate possession and limit opportunities for the opposition. With Brentford missing key players, a clean sheet for the Reds looks more than achievable. A Liverpool win to nil is a solid shout here.”

Correct Score Prediction

A 3-0 victory for Liverpool is our predicted scoreline, and it aligns well with our best bet of a win to nil. The reasoning for this scoreline stems from Liverpool’s attacking prowess combined with Brentford’s vulnerabilities in defence.

Liverpool have started the season with a clear intent to attack, as seen in their first match where they had 18 shots, with five on target. With Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota in form, and new signing Ryan Gravenberch providing creativity in midfield, the Reds have the firepower to score multiple goals against any opposition. Last season, Liverpool scored seven goals across two fixtures against Brentford, indicating their ability to exploit the Bees’ defensive frailties.

Given Brentford’s injuries and lack of depth, particularly at the back, Liverpool should be able to carve out enough chances to secure a comprehensive victory. A 3-0 scoreline reflects Liverpool’s capacity to score multiple goals while maintaining defensive solidity.

Goalscorer Prediction

Diogo Jota is our pick to find the back of the net at any point during the match. Jota opened his account for the season with a goal against Ipswich, continuing his strong form from the previous campaign where he was a key contributor in Liverpool’s attack.

Jota has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, which makes him a constant threat in front of goal. His movement off the ball and ability to exploit spaces in the opposition’s defence make him a prime candidate to score, especially against a Brentford side that is likely to be on the back foot for much of the game. Additionally, Jota has a history of performing well at Anfield, and with the support of Liverpool’s creative midfielders, he is well-placed to add to his tally this weekend.

Additional Prediction

Given Liverpool’s attacking intent and Brentford’s potential to contribute to the scoreline, another viable prediction is a Liverpool win combined with over 2.5 total goals in the match. This bet takes into account Liverpool’s strong offensive output and the likelihood of Brentford getting on the scoresheet, even if they ultimately fall short.

Liverpool have shown they are capable of scoring multiple goals, and with the added motivation of Slot’s first home game, the Reds will be eager to put on a show for their fans. Brentford, despite their limitations, have managed to score in each of their last three Premier League matches, suggesting they could still find a way to breach Liverpool’s defence. This prediction offers good value given the potential for a high-scoring encounter.
