Brentford are playing an excellent season. They are currently in 8th place with 41 points, just three away from the 5th spot, which could lead them to European Conference League. Realistically, that wasn't the goal before the start of the season, and they will not be too disappointed if they fail to achieve it. They are playing without pressure and doing great, especially in the last part of the season.
At home, Brentford have been outstanding at their pitch. Thomas Frank's side has won 26 points in 13 matches with only one loss in 13 Premier League home matches.
Leicester City are playing its worst season since arriving in Premier League in the 2014/2015 season. The Foxes are in 16th place in league with 24 points, only two points away from the last-placed Southampton.
Leicester City are playing hot and cold this season. They lose a couple of games without scoring a goal, and then they win a game or two with three or four scored goals. We can see that in the latest stretch - they lost five in a row with only two scored goals, and before that, they won 4:1 vs Tottenham and 4:2 against Aston Villa.
Brentford vs Leicester City pick: Brentford to win
Brentford lost just one game against Everton in the previous 14 Premier League matches. They had some notable wins against Liverpool and Manchester City in that stretch. Recently, they have been very good at home in the league, with four wins and one draw in the previous five home matches.
Leicester City are in terrible form, with five losses in a row. One of those losses was against Blackburn in the FA Cup 1/8 finals. The Foxes struggled on the road this season and have lost nine in the 13 Premier League games. Recently, they lost three of the last four road matches. In those three losses, they failed to score.

Brentford Team News
After losing first time in 13 games against Everton, Frank Thomas was pleased to see his side bounce back with a win over Southampton in the last round. He said they played very well in the first half when they created good chances. In the second half, we saw a scrappy game, not the most beautiful, but in the end, they managed to win all three points.
The team's captain Pontus Jansson was back on the field for the final 13 minutes of the Southampton game after missing a long time due to an injury.
The Bees will miss only two players due to injuries: backup goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha and winger Keane Lewis-Potter.
