Leeds United vs Brentford team news and expert analysis

The Leeds club returned from the Championship a year ago after a two-year absence. Farke's next task was to preserve their Premier League status, and he handled it well. With 47 points, they finished 14th. This time, they have already beaten Nottingham Forest in both the Premier League and the League Cup.

The London side parted ways with long-serving manager Frank and several key attacking players last summer. Nevertheless, they managed to improve significantly and surprisingly came close to qualifying for the Europa League. They collected the same 53 points as Brighton but lost out to them on tiebreakers, finishing eighth. In the opening round of the new league season, they thrashed Tottenham 3-0. They then produced an even bigger victory, crushing Birmingham 6-1 in the League Cup.

The newcomers averaged 1.29 goals per game while conceding more, at 1.44. The Londoners had a positive ratio, scoring 1.45 goals per match and conceding slightly fewer, at 1.37.

He is an analyst in the world of football who doesn't mind adding to his budget with a lucky bet, something he has been doing for the last 10 years. I don't believe in luck, but I believe that the motivation of the opponents and their kit plays a big role, and any sensation is explainable. I prefer to play cautiously, because it is better to win 5 out of 5 bets at odds of 1.6-1.7 than to lose 2 out of 3 bets at odds of 2.2.
