Brentford vs Liverpool prediction and betting tips on January 18, 2025
Game Prediction
Brentford and Liverpool will compete in the 22nd round of the English Premier League on January 18, 2025. The guests are not as perfect as they were in the first months of Slot’s work, but they are determined to win.
Our prediction for the match Brentford vs Liverpool
“The Bees” took only 39 points last season – the fact that they lost the lion’s share of matches due to Toney’s disqualification had an effect. Still, that was enough to finish in 16th position. “The Reds” rose to 3rd place and won the League Cup (as expected, this was where Klopp put an end to his long work in the Foggy Albion).
Jurgen was replaced by Slot and, generally speaking, his achievements exceeded all expectations. Suffice it to say that “the Reds” lost only once in all tournaments with him in 2024, and the draws can be counted on the fingers of one hand. On the other hand, they did not beat Newcastle and Fulham in December. And the new calendar year began with a 2-2 draw in the game against Manchester United and a defeat to Tottenham, albeit in the first semi-final of the League Cup. Nottingham Forest almost won again in the previous round, but they tied there anyway, and could have won. Speaking about the cup confrontation with Accrington Stanley, the club did without problems in 2025. Thomas Frank and his wards, among whom there was no longer Toney, showed the best “home” statistics for a long time. And this, even with constant misfires on the away field, allowed the club to figure among the contenders for entry into the European tournaments. However, there was a decline in the winter – there were 5 defeats in 7 matches. Still, then it crushed Southampton. That success was followed by a misfire in cup confrontation with Plymouth. And then the team snatched a draw in the struggle with Manchester City, although it was losing with a 0-2 score in the 82nd minute of the game.
The club from London is faithful to its stake on spectacular football. Scoring almost twice per match, it also concedes 1.76 goals per meeting. And “the Merseysiders” are not in vain the sole leaders: Salah and the company are at the mark of 2.4 goals scored on average, but they also concede 1 goal per struggle.
