Liverpool vs Brentford prediction 12.11.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 12th November 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Anfield (Liverpool)

After the previous season, when Liverpool was far from the best teams in the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp's team returned to the best level in 2023/24. At the moment, Liverpool are only three points behind the league leader, Manchester City. Still, after five wins in six matches in all competitions, Liverpool had a draw and a loss in the previous two games, so maybe their form is slowing down. On Thursday, Klopp's team lost 3-2 on the road against Toulouse. Liverpool had 65% ball possession and eight shots more than the opponent, but the home side was much better in converting goal-scoring chances, so guests suffered the first defeat since September. 

Brentford are one of the most stable teams in the Premier League. They should have another mid-table season. So far this season, Brentford are 9th on the table with 16 points from 11 matches. Thomas Frank's team is playing well at the moment as they won the last three games in a row. Last weekend, Brentford won 3-2 at home against West Ham. That game was fairly even, but the home side did just enough to secure all three points. After third win in a row, Brentford should have a lot of confidence ahead of the game versus Liverpool. 

Liverpool vs Brentford pick: Under 3.5 goals

Although Liverpool allowed three goals in the last match, their defense still should be considered good, as they conceded five in the previous four games. Also, Liverpool went under 3.5 goals in three of the last four matches. On the other hand, Brentford allowed only two goals in the previous three games. Under 3.5 goals be the best betting option for this tie.
