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 victory over West Ham in the London derby on Monday, Brentford hope to give their fans another reason to celebrate when they face Liverpool at 2 am on October 26th.

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 the same starting lineup as in the match against 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 visiting team. In that case, former Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili will hold 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 Arne Slot's decision to resolve the issue with Mo Salah (by benching him in the 5-1 win against Ajax) was a turning point for Liverpool's tactical shift. While Isak's injury might allow Salah to return to the squad for this match, Slot will have a reason to substitute him after the first half.

Let's look at the predictions from the experts : Arsenal legend Paul Merson predicts a 1-1 score, former striker Chris Sutton also chooses a 1-1 result, while veteran coach Harry Redknapp chooses a 1-2 score, 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 the popular choice, with odds of 8.3 to 1. However, the most common scoreline is Liverpool winning 1-2 with odds of only 8 to 1, while 0-2 has odds of 10 to 1, and 0-1 has odds of 11. Brentford winning is quite 'risky' with odds of 17 to 1-0, 14 to 1-2-1, and 29 to 2-0.
