Brentford vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (17 February)

Stuck in the second part of the table, Brentford is currently 14th in the Premier League and, with 1 game less, is 6 points ahead of the first relegated team. The Bees have been progressing slowly for several weeks, as evidenced by the 7 losses conceded during the last 9 days, for 2 victories. Last weekend, they gave themselves a little breathing room in the standings by bringing back a precious victory from Wolverhampton 0-2. This result follows 2 defeats against the big names Tottenham 3-2 and Manchester City 1-3. Eliminated from the two National Cups, Brentford can concentrate on its journey in the championship. Liverpool are making a very good impression this season and today occupy the lead in the Premier League with 1 game more and 2 points ahead of Manchester City.

After stringing together 4 victories in a row in the league, the Reds performed poorly in the title race by losing to Arsenal 3-1. They resumed their march forward last weekend by beating relegated Burnley 3-1. Qualified for the League Cup final, Liverpool are also still present in the FA Cup. Leader of its Europa League group, the Mersey club is waiting to know the identity of its opponent in the round of 16.

For Brentford, we must mention the withdrawals of the important striker Mbeumo (7 goals and 3 assists in PL), the potentially starting defenders Hickey and Henry and the replacements Dasilva and Schade. Internationals Onyeka and Wissa are announced as doubtful this weekend after finishing with the African Cup of Nations. Returning from a long suspension in mid-January, Ivan Toney (3 goals in 4 PL matches) is already very effective.

He could once again be associated with Maupay (5 goals and 3 assists in PL). Arriving at the club this winter, Spanish full-back Reguilon quickly settled into the starting 11.
