Liverpool Faces Brentford: Analysis, Forecasts, and Top Wagers
** scoring sessions at Anfield**
On Sunday, Liverpool FC will square off against Brentford in the English Premier League. Both teams started their seasons with a win, and the Reds have netted 15 goals in their past six games against Brentford since their promotion. Liverpool has only lost once in their last 48 league games at Anfield.
Liverpool's Rollercoaster End to Last Season
Liverpool experienced a rocky finish to the previous season. A disappointing 3-0 home loss to Atalanta and a 1-0 home loss to Crystal Palace dashed their hopes in both the Europa League and the Premier League. A 2-0 loss at Everton followed 10 days later. However, the final four league matches saw some positives with two wins and two draws, with an impressive 11 goals scored but seven conceded.
The Reds' Showdown with Brentford
Jurgen Klopp's men will be attacking and throwing numbers forward at Anfield, aiming for three points. A draw would be a disappointing outcome. The Reds might have 65% possession in the game, and they will need to be patient to break Brentford down.
Brentford's Injury Woes and New Signings
Brentford have encountered some misfortune, with key players Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey out injured and newly signed striker Igor Thiago out for several months. Ivan Toney is not expected to be involved with a possible exit on the horizon. Kristoffer Ajer will fill in for the injured fullbacks, and Fabio Carvalho, fresh from Liverpool, is likely to feature from the bench.
Thomas Frank's Tactics
Brentford's coach, Thomas Frank, usually employs a 5-3-2 system in big matches, making it challenging for top-six clubs. For this match, Frank will likely prioritize counters and set pieces as the primary sources of goals and focus on defending against Liverpool's attacks.
