Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City face a must-win encounter against Brentford in their battle to avoid the drop. They sit 19th in the current standings and have suffered defeats in four of their last five matches.
It’s also a significant concern that Leicester have lost each of their last five at the King Power Stadium, conceding eleven goals and failing to score even one. Defensively, they’ve struggled throughout the season, allowing 47 goals from an xGA of 45.59.
Van Nistelrooy’s options in the defensive areas will be restricted this weekend as James Justin has joined Ricardo Pereira and Harry Souttar on the sidelines. Abdul Fatawu also remains out for the season after suffering a serious knee injury.
Leicester City predicted lineup vs Brentford (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Coulibaly, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Soumare; De Cordova-Reid, El Khannouss, Ayew; Vardy.
Thomas Frank’s Brentford will have their sights set on a top-half finish in the standings and a potential push for a European spot. They’ve won two of their previous three in the Premier League, with each of their most recent three wins on the road.
However, Brentford haven’t won four successive away matches since their League One campaign in September 2011. Despite having a flourishing forward line, they’re still underperforming in terms of their xG metric of 37.14 after scoring 36 goals from open play.
Frank will be without a number of key defenders this weekend. Sepp van den Berg limped off in the victory at West Ham, while Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey aren’t expected to return from thigh injuries until April. Joshua Da Silva is also out with a knee issue.
Brentford predicted lineup vs Leicester City (4-2-3-1): Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter; Janelt, Nørgaard, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade, Wissa.
Bet hereBrentford look good value to claim maximum points this weekend. Their away form in recent weeks has been excellent. They should have won more comfortably than a 1-0 scoreline suggests at West Ham last Saturday after dominating and creating excellent scoring chances at will.
Leicester City’s poor defensive record means we foresee the guests breaking through quite easily at the King Power Stadium.
A straightforward away victory looks like the most sensible Leicester City vs Brentford prediction based on all available form lines.
Over 2.5 goals looks like a standout selection based on the season averages of both Brentford and Leicester City. The visitors’ matches have averaged 3.4 goals per 90 this season, and they’ve normalised scores of 1.17 on the road. This season, the hosts have seen an average of 3.2 goals per game, and they’ve conceded a continuous 2.2 in each event.
Yoane Wissa was unfortunate not to get his name on the scoresheet at the London Stadium last weekend. The striker has enjoyed an excellent season after netting ten in 22 matches. Wissa has averaged 2.89 shots per 90 and has accumulated an xG of 12.73. His pace could be a focal point of Brentford’s offence on Friday.
