Brentford - Liverpool match score prediction: Finding the joy of victory again

(NLDO) - Having lost three consecutive matches, Liverpool has no way back and a draw at Brentford's stadium certainly won't satisfy coach Arne Slot and his team.

Following their surprise win over West Ham in the London derby on Monday, Brentford will be hoping to give their fans another reason to celebrate when they face Liverpool at 2pm on 26 October.

The Bees are aiming for their fourth win of the season, but will surely be satisfied with a point against champions Liverpool.

With no further injury concerns, Brentford manager Keith Andrews is likely to field a similar starting line-up to the one that beat West Ham in Round 8.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is under pressure after three straight league defeats. Big-money signings Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong have yet to show their full potential, and with Brentford's excellent performance against West Ham, Opta's supercomputer has slashed Liverpool's chances of winning to just 54% (draw 22.5%, lose 23.5%).

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is the most notable absentee for the visitors. In the event of a replay, former Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili will keep his place in goal.

The biggest challenge for Liverpool is that their young squad will have to face senior players who have played at Anfield, such as midfielder Jordan Henderson, striker Fabio Carvalho, goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher or reserve center-back Sepp van den Berg. All of them are playing well for the Bees and are ready to show their understanding of their old team.

However, many experts believe that when Arne Slot solved the Mo Salah problem (leaving him on the bench in the 5-1 win over Ajax), it was also a turning point for Liverpool to change their tactics. Isak's injury could help Salah return to the squad this match, but Slot will have a reason to replace him right after the first half.

Take a look at the experts' predictions : Arsenal legend Paul Merson predicts a 1-1 scoreline, former striker Chris Sutton also picks a 1-1 result, while veteran coach Harry Redknapp picks a 1-2 scoreline, and Mark Lawrenson also believes Liverpool will win with a 1-3 result.

Prediction: Brentford - Liverpool 1-2

The initial odds for Liverpool were half a goal down at 92-97, but this morning the market has changed to Liverpool only half a goal down, winning enough and losing 85. So the market is pouring in the upper hand despite Liverpool losing striker Isak due to injury. Choosing the upper hand will be more fun when Liverpool has regained their rhythm.

A 1-1 draw is a popular choice, with a payout of 8.3. But the most popular odds are Liverpool winning 1-2 with payouts of only 8, while 0-2 is 10 and 11. Brentford's odds are quite adventurous, with 1-0 being 17, 2-1 being 14 and 2-0 being 29.
