Leicester City vs. Brentford: Betting Insights, Preview, and Predictions

Leicester, struggling with nine losses in ten, need a win to escape relegation but face a tough Brentford side in strong away form.

Leicester City is in a tough spot, having lost nine of their last ten Premier League matches. But surprisingly, they’re only two points from safety, thanks to the struggles of other teams. Still, a five-game goalless streak at the King Power Stadium makes it hard to see them getting out of the bottom three against Brentford.

The last time Leicester scored at home in the league was back in early December. Fans are getting restless, as shown by the protests before their 2-0 loss to Arsenal last weekend. But history gives a little hope: the Foxes have only lost once in their last 13 games against Brentford and have scored in 17 of the last 18 matchups.

Brentford, on the other hand, is on fire away from home. After a rough start with no wins in their first nine away games, the Bees have now won their last three on the road, including a 1-0 win at West Ham. Thomas Frank’s team loves Friday night football, winning four out of five Premier League games played on this day and keeping clean sheets in four of them.
