Leeds vs Brentford prediction 21.03.2026 | Premier League

After only one season in the English top flight, Leeds could return to the Championship. They are only three points ahead of the drop zone and the upcoming few months could be very interesting at Elland Road. Luckily for Leeds, their form seems good enough with only two defeats in the last eight matches. In the previous game, Daniel Farke's team played 0-0 on the road against Crystal Palace. Although the visitors ended with only 33% ball possession, they had significantly better goal-scoring chances and were closer to all three points.

Leeds' manager, Daniel Farke, was pleased after a draw at Selhurst Park. He said, "I would trust my lads with my life. We are not perfect, but the mentality in the dressing room is second to none. In the circumstances, in a difficult away game, we defended the whole time and we didn't give any chances away. I think in the end, we had a higher expected goals than our opponents. Fantastic spirit, defending, clean sheet, and a point away."

Gabriel Gudmundsson received the red card in the previous Premier League round and will not play on Saturday, while Noah Okafor is questionable with a thigh injury.

The 2025/26 season could be the best in Brentford's history. They are seventh in the Premier League, but could even sneak into the Champions League positions. However, Brentford's form is far from ideal as they have won in only one of their last five matches. In the most recent outing, Keith Andrews' team played 2-2 at home against Wolverhampton. The hosts had xG of 2.56, while the guests had only 1.33, so Brentford should be disappointed with the outcome.

After only a draw in the previous league round, Brentford's head coach, Keith Andrews, was disappointed. He said, "We created some opportunities, and I felt like we could've had more if we had been a little more clinical and our decision-making a bit sharper. In the second half, I wanted us to be front-footed, and we couldn't get control of the game in the second half as we did in the first. We didn't do the basics as well, and ultimately, we're frustrated with that."

Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo, Joshua Dasilva, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, and Vitaly Janelt are injured and will not travel to Leeds. Mikkel Damsgaard has a knee injury, but he could recover in time.
