Liverpool travel to face Brentford this weekend following a 1-5 victory away to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday and our football expert has picked out the best bets for a bet builder.
The Reds have had a poor run of late, with four defeats on the bounce before that victory in Germany midweek. They’re currently third in the Premier League.
Brentford haven’t had the strongest of starts, with three wins, one draw and four defeats from their opening eight. They’re 13th in the league.
Brentford vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tip
Brentford vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Liverpool to win (8/11)
I think Liverpool will get back to winning ways this weekend. They have lost their last three in the Premier League, with their last league win coming over Everton on 20 September. Prior to that, they had won five from five to begin the league campaign. Brentford have won three of their eight league fixtures this season, and I don’t think they’ll have enough to get anything from Liverpool this weekend.
BEST BET BUILDER TIP – Both teams to score @ 4/7
Liverpool have conceded a lot of goals for a team third in the league, shipping 11 goals in eight league matches. Both teams have scored in seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions, with both teams on target in four of their last five. Brentford have conceded 12 goals in eight league matches, and both teams have scored in six of their last 10 matches in all competitions. I think both teams will score here.
Brentford vs Liverpool Tips – Cody Gakpo over 0.5 shots on target (4/7)
Cody Gakpo has had a decent season so far. He has bagged three goals in eight league appearances, with another one goal in three Champions League matches. He has had a massive 21 shots on target, an average of well over two per game. Five of those have been on target, and I think he will get another one here.
Brentford vs Liverpool Player to be Carded Tip – Igor Thiago to be carded (3/1)
I think Igor Thiago is good odds to be booked at 3/1 in this one. The Brentford striker has been booked twice in the league this season, making 16 fouls in eight games, which is massive for a striker – an average of two per game. With that average, I think there’s a great chance he will pick up a booking here.
ALTERNATIVE BET – Igor Thiago over 1.5 fouls @ 13/8
He might not pick up a third booking of the season, but the stats don’t lie. With an average of two fouls per game, you could take him to have over 1.5 fouls at 13/8, which reduced the overall odds of this bet to 10/1.
