Our prediction for the match Leicester vs Brentford
The club from Kings Power spent last season in the Championship. And it managed to become the strongest ahead of schedule there, but Maresca, at the same time, ensured such success that, having confidently achieved the set task, the specialist went for promotion to Chelsea. Thomas Frank was working in London. And again the mentor ensured a decent result in 2023/2024: having taken 39 points, his team finished in 16th position.
Speaking about a new season, the club from London stood out for a long time with strong “home” statistics, which allowed it to remain among the contenders for the European competition. Still, then this trump card was lost, suffice it to say that Brentford lost to Plymouth in the cup confrontation on the native field. On the other hand, it took points from Manchester City and won the away battle against Crystal Palace, as well as, in the previous round, West Ham. Leicester clearly did not guess with the decision to invite Cooper in the summer. One way or another, even being under the leadership of van Nistelrooy, after the first successes (a win in the game against West Ham and a draw in the struggle with Brighton), there were continuous defeats in the Premier League, except for a 2-1 result in the meeting with crisis Tottenham. As for the previous round, the club also lost to Arsenal without much of a chance – 0-2.
Vardy and the company score a goal on average per round. This is already little, and they concede 2.2 goals in response. The team from the capital plays the same spectacular football: about 1.7 both scored and conceded (still, it finally scores a little, but more).
