Leicester City vs Brentford Predictions

Can Leicester End Their Miserable Run, or Will Brentford Continue Their Away Surge?

• Leicester’s Attacking Struggles: The Foxes have failed to score in their last five home Premier League games, highlighting their serious lack of creativity.
• Brentford’s Away Form Revival: After failing to win any of their first nine away games this season, the Bees have won their last three in a row, showing significant improvement.
• Head-to-Head Goals Galore: The last six meetings between these two sides have seen both teams score, although Leicester’s recent form suggests that trend might end on Friday.

Best Bet for Leicester City vs Brentford

Leicester City are in desperate need of a turnaround as they prepare to host a resurgent Brentford side at the King Power Stadium on Friday night. The Foxes’ situation is becoming increasingly dire, with 10 defeats in their last 11 Premier League outings, leaving them teetering just two points above the relegation zone. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s arrival was expected to inject some life into the squad, but instead, his side have looked increasingly disjointed, particularly in attack. A win here would provide a temporary lifeline, but given their recent struggles, it’s hard to see them keeping Brentford at bay.

The Bees, meanwhile, are in flying form. After a woeful start to their away campaign, where they collected just two points from their first nine games on the road, they have turned a corner in remarkable fashion. Thomas Frank’s men are unbeaten in their last four away trips, winning three in a row, and now have the chance to make history by securing a fourth consecutive away victory – something Brentford have never achieved in the Premier League. With Leicester looking toothless in attack and Brentford growing in confidence, this fixture has all the makings of another miserable night for the Foxes.

Here at BettingTips4You.com, we don’t believe in drowning readers with multiple predictions. Instead, we cut through the noise and focus on delivering a single, high-quality tip for each match. For this clash, our best bet is Brentford to win.

Why Brentford Are the Smart Bet

Leicester’s attacking woes have been one of the defining narratives of their season, especially under van Nistelrooy. While the Dutchman was a ruthless finisher in his playing days, his Leicester side have been anything but. Since he took charge, the Foxes have managed just nine goals in 11 league matches, with five of those coming in his first two games. That means they’ve netted just four times in their last nine outings – an alarming statistic for a side fighting for survival. Worse still, their home form has been dreadful, failing to score in each of their last five league fixtures at the King Power Stadium.

Brentford, on the other hand, are thriving. The Bees have won their last three away games, including a solid 1-0 victory over West Ham last time out. Their defensive resilience has been a key factor, keeping three clean sheets in their last four on the road. Considering Leicester’s lack of firepower, another Brentford shutout wouldn’t be surprising.

The history between these two sides also favours Brentford. The reverse fixture saw the Bees cruise to a 4-1 victory, and while a repeat of that scoreline might be ambitious, there’s little evidence to suggest Leicester have improved enough to reverse the trend.

BettingTips4You.com expert quote:
“Leicester look completely out of ideas in the final third, and Brentford’s away form is on the rise. With confidence soaring in the Bees’ camp and the Foxes struggling for goals, backing an away win looks the most logical choice.”

Expected Scoreline

Brentford’s recent defensive solidity suggests they can win this game without conceding, and given Leicester’s blunt attack, a 2-0 victory for the visitors looks the most likely outcome. The Foxes’ last four home defeats have all ended in a 2-0 scoreline, and given Brentford’s compact shape and ability to frustrate teams, this pattern could well continue.

Kevin Schade could be a difference-maker again, having netted the winner against West Ham and scoring twice in his last three outings. He also hit a hat-trick against Leicester in the reverse fixture, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him on the scoresheet once more.
