Brentford London FC vs. Liverpool FC
Match Info
- When: Saturday, February 17, 07:30 AM ET
- Where: Brentford Community Stadium
- Win/Loss Record (Last 5): Brentford D/L/W/L/L – Liverpool W/D/W/W/L
Brentford vs. Liverpool Stats, Odds & Prediction
- Liverpool has defeated Brentford in their two most recent head-to-heads.
- Brentford hasn’t kept a clean sheet at home since October 2023.
The Bees Aren’t Stinging
The Bees' six-point lead over the bottom three teams is narrowing.
However, they still have a game in hand over all but one of their opponents. From a defensive standpoint, last Saturday's shutout victory over the Wolves was crucial, as it ended Brentford's 14-game stretch without a clean sheet.
Up next is ending a terrible run of poor results on home soil, where Frank's side has let in multiple goals in each of their last four Premier League meetings. However, in their past twenty-five home games, the Bees have notably failed to score in just one game.
The Reds Looking for Blood
Regarding Brentford’s dreadful goals-allowed streak at the G-Tech, we can only say good luck in bucking that trend because Liverpool has been on fire in front of goal even in the absence of Mohammad Salah.
Now, with Salah returning alongside the likes of Nunez, Jota and Diaz, unless the home side builds a brick wall on the goal line, preventing their weekend visitors from finding the net will be an almost impossible task.
EPL Matchday 25 Betting Odds & Predictions
Unsurprisingly, the odds have placed Liverpool as the betting favorite.
However, to my surprise, we’re looking at reasonable odds of -161. This straight wager on the Liverpool moneyline shows excellent value.
In their continued quest at the summit of the Premier League table, Jurgen Klopp’s men have won 4 of their last 5 EPL home games, have netted 10 goals in their previous five games combined and we expect their winning ways to continue as the pressure mounts on Pep Guardiola to defend successfully his domestic crown.
Score Prediction: Brentford 1 – Liverpool 3

Sheffield United FC vs. Brighton & Hove Albion FC
Match Info
- When: Sunday, February 18, 09:00 AM ET
- Where: Bramall Lane
- Win/Loss Record (Last 5): Sheff Utd W/L/L/L/D – Brighton L/W/L/W/D
Sheff United vs. Brighton Stats, Odds & Prediction
- Sheffield lost to Brighton 5-2 in the FA Cup earlier this year.
- Both teams have scored in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two sides.
- Both teams have scored in 4 of Sheffield’s 5 most recent games in all competitions.
Revenge Spot for the Blades
Sheffield United looks almost destined for Championship football next term, sitting with 13 points in the rock bottom position of the EPL table and eight points adrift from safety. However, it’s not over yet, and with revenge in mind, welcoming Brighton back to Bramall Lane will hopefully finish opposite to January’s FA Cup.
When these sides met earlier this year, Brighton ran rampant and sliced through the Blades with a 5-2 scoreline. However, Sheffield will be hopeful in this revenge, especially after breaking a seven-game winless streak against Luton last time out.
Brighton Looks to Emulate January’s Triumph
While Brighton may want to replicate the five goals netted at Sheffield’s fortress this Sunday, they’d undoubtedly settle for a lower scoreline and three points, as victory this weekend could see them positioned as high as seventh in the Premier League standings.
It's all going on for the Seagulls right now: the Europa Cup, FA Cup and a top-of-the-table battle. Still, the gaps in their defense have seen 40 conceded goals in 24 domestic outings, so we shouldn’t be surprised if another thriller unravels on Sunday afternoon.
EPL Matchday 25 Betting Odds & Predictions
In my opinion, the betting odds of -161 on both teams to score are irresistible.
Roberto De Zerbi has delivered heavy attacks from the Brighton dugout and Sheffield is fighting for survival.
Considering the FA Cup tie final score alone, both teams scoring at this price seems like a no-brainer betting position to put ourselves in.
Score Prediction: Sheff United 2 – Brighton 2
