Football Whispers' Predictions for Leicester vs Brentford
Contents
Leicester are looking to make it four straight wins against Brentford in league and cup on Sunday when the pair go head-to-head in the Premier League. Only 3pts separate the two clubs ahead of kick-off but Brentford have played three more games than their hosts this season and have a worse goal difference.
Leicester to Win
The Foxes have won their last three games against Brentford, including a 2-1 win in the pair's reverse league fixture back in October. Rodgers' men have won four of their last five matches in all competitions while Brentford have lost three of their last six outings in the Premier League, so you can see why we're backing a home win on Sunday.
Under 2.5 Goals
Five of the last seven meetings between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals, and we're predicting another low-scoring affair this weekend. Each of Leicester's last four matches in league and cup have produced under 2.5 goals, while four of Brentford's last six outings have witnessed fewer than three goals scored.

The Bees will go level on points with the Foxes if they win
Leicester made the trip to the capital to face Arsenal last weekend and ended up returning back to the Midlands with nothing to show for their efforts. Partey put the home side 1-0 up in the 11th-minute and a Lacazette penalty just before the hour mark made it 2-0 and wrapped up the 3pts for the Gunnrs. The Foxes sit 12th in the table and really need to win their games in hand if they are going to finish comfortably in the top half this season.
Leicester Predicted Lineup: Schmeichel, Pereira, Amartey, Söyüncü, Thomas, Albrighton, Mendy, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes & Ịheanachọ
Brentford used their home advantage well when they took on Burnley last time out. The game appeared to be heading for a goalless draw until Toney fired home a massive goal for the home side in the 85th-minute and in stoppage-time the very same player converted a spot-kick to make sure of the points. Brentford have 30pts on the board and look like they have enough in their squad to get to safety.
Brentford Predicted Lineup: Raya, Jansson, Ajer, Henry, Pinnock, Eriksen, Nørgaard, Canós, Janelt & Toney
Team News
Leicester: Castagne, Evans, Vardy, Fofana, Ward and Bertrand are the main injury concerns for the hosts.
