Brentford vs Leeds United form
Brentford are displaying a similar pattern to their performance in the first half of last season: a team that performs well at home but poorly away. In their seven home games this season, the Gtech Community Stadium side have won five, drawn one, and lost only one, a record only surpassed by the league leaders Arsenal, Man City, and Aston Villa.
But whenever they have to leave their home ground, Brentford seem to transform into apprentices. In their eight away games this season, the London team has only won one and lost seven, a points tally only better than bottom-placed Wolves.
This weekend, fans at Gtech Community Stadium are eagerly awaiting the scenario where their team will once again secure a full three points. Besides the home advantage, Leeds United are clearly one of the most composed away teams in the 2025/26 Premier League.
After 7 away games since the start of the season, the Yorkshire newcomers have only won 1 and lost 6. In their last 4 away matches, Daniel Farke's team have all suffered defeats, scoring only 3 and conceding at least 2 goals in each game (a total of 11 goals).
Leeds United's poor away form has dragged them into the relegation zone. Currently, the visitors sit 16th with 15 points, just two points ahead of the nearest team in the relegation zone. However, this doesn't mean the Elland Road side should be underestimated.
Leeds United had fallen into the bottom three after matchday 13. However, thanks to earning four points from a 3-1 victory over Chelsea and a 3-3 draw against Liverpool, manager Daniel Farke's team managed to escape the bottom of the table. These positive results have significantly boosted the morale of the visiting team.
Heading into a treacherous environment like Gtech Community Stadium, Leeds United will certainly not be relying solely on morale. Outstanding players like Ao Tanaka, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, etc., need to maintain the impressive form they showed against the two Big Six giants.
In particular, expectations are placed on veteran Calvert-Lewin. Despite facing considerable criticism during his goal drought at the start of the season, the former England striker has scored in his last three appearances against Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Ahead of their clash in London this weekend, both Brentford and Leeds United are embroiled in a relegation battle. However, home advantage could offer a more positive outcome for the Hornets.
