Brentford will be looking for a win to move further away from the bottom three when they visit relegation candidates Leicester City on Friday night.
Leicester City are nowhere to be seen since their surprised 2:1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last month. The Foxes have lost each of their last three games since that victory, conceding at least two goals in as many games. Their most recent defeat came at the hands of title chasers Arsenal at this ground last weekend, when they were beaten 2-0. However, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side will take plenty of positives from that encounter given that both goals came after 80 minutes.
Thomas Frank and Brentford had a long wait for their first away win of the Premier League campaign. Their first league win on the road this season was a 5:0 win over Southampton on the 4th of January and have won the subsequent two, including last weekend's 1:0 win over West Ham United. The big headline from last weekend's victory over the Hammers was the clean sheet, as it was the first in six games.
Leicester City vs Brentford Betting Tips: Both teams to score
The Foxes failed to find the back of the net against the Gunners last weekend but they have a very good goal scoring record against Brentford is good. Indeed, Nistelrooy’s men scored at least once in each of the last seven meetings between the two sides and bets on btts – yes won in all but one of those encounters.
Brentford are also capable of scoring many goals on their day. The Bees scored at least once in five of their last six Premier League outings and averaged two goals per game in the three away games during that period.
