Liverpool vs Brentford prediction 12.11.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 12th November 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK/15:00 CET
• Venue: Anfield (Liverpool)

Following a lackluster performance in the prior season, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team has bounced back strongly in the 2023/24 Premier League. They currently sit just three points behind league leaders, Manchester City. However, after a streak of five wins in six matches across all competitions, Liverpool’s form may be waning, with a draw and a loss in their last two games. Their most recent defeat came at the hands of Toulouse on Thursday, losing 3-2 away from home. Despite having 65% ball possession and eight more shots than their opponents, Liverpool struggled to convert their goal-scoring opportunities, thus suffering their first loss since September.

Brentford is considered one of the most steady teams in the Premier League, expected to maintain their mid-table status this season. Currently, they are 9th in the league with 16 points from 11 matches. Thomas Frank’s squad is exhibiting strong performance, having won their last three consecutive games. In their previous match, they clinched a 3-2 victory over West Ham on their home ground. The match was evenly contested, but Brentford managed to edge out their opponents to earn the full three points. With this third consecutive win, Brentford’s confidence should be high as they prepare for their game against Liverpool.

Liverpool vs Brentford pick: Under 3.5 goals

Despite Liverpool conceding three goals in the most recent game, their defense is still deemed to be solid due to only letting in five goals in the four games prior. Furthermore, Liverpool has stayed under 3.5 goals in three out of the past four games. In contrast, Brentford has shown a strong defense by only allowing two goals in the last three games. Betting under 3.5 goals seems to be the most promising option for this match.
