Leicester vs Brentford Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 21st February 2025

Mid-placed Brentford visit Leicester, who are currently struggling to put some distance between themselves and the relegation-zone. This is a round 26 match taking place at King Power Stadium on Friday.

Leicester are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Brentford but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

The Foxes are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net four times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.4 goals per game, as they conceded 25 goals. They managed zero clean sheets in these matches.

Brentford scored 12 goals, conceded 14 and managed three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a 4-1 match. Are we in for a similar goal-fest on Friday?

Leicester vs Brentford Prediction

Leicester Form

In their last three matches, Leicester lost 4-0 against Everton, 2-1 against Manchester United and 0-2 against Arsenal. Leicester did not win any of their last six Premier League matches at the King Power Stadium. They came through these matches with a record of zero draws and five defeats, in which they conceded 13 and scored six goals.

Brentford Form

The results have been up and down for Brentford, who beat Crystal Palace by 1-2. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 0-2 against Tottenham, before claiming a victory in a 0-1 game against West Ham. Brentford won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored ten goals whilst conceding six.

Form is currently close to disastrous for The Foxes, and siding with Brentford is a no-brainer, as it looks like a question of attempting to minimize the defeat for hosts.

Brentford won six of their previous nine outings against teams from the bottom six and claimed 19 points. They scored 24 and conceded 14 goals. Leicester have a record of four wins, five draws and 16 defeats in the Premier League this season. Brentford are looking at ten wins, four draws and 11 defeats in the Premier League.
