Brentford vs Leeds United

Brentford and Leeds United are set to trade tackles at the Brentford Community Stadium in an exciting Premier League fixture.

Except for a stellar 4-0 home triumph over Manchester United on matchday two, Brentford have failed to win any of their remaining four Premier League matches this season (D3, L1), fuelling talks of them being one of the hottest relegation candidates. Their abysmal start to the season is likely to go on, as the ‘Bees’ are winless in their last four league meetings with Leeds (D2, L2), conceding precisely twice in both top-flight H2Hs in 2021/22 (D1, L1). On the bright side, Thomas Frank’s men have only suffered one defeat in their last seven Premier League home encounters (W4, D2), racking up five clean sheets in the process. Equally impressive on the other end of the pitch, Brentford have scored in eight consecutive top-flight outings in the build-up to this fixture.

In the meantime, Leeds United battled back to draw 1-1 at home against Everton in midweek Premier League action, maintaining their decent five-game start to the new top-flight campaign (W2, D2, L1). Curiously, Leeds’ 2-1 victory in this corresponding fixture last season ended their dismal run of ten winless away league meetings with Brentford (D4, L6). Another potential win in London would see the ‘Whites’ string together consecutive away league triumphs against this opposition for the first time in the club’s history. Late action could be the order of the day as Leeds scored beyond the 90th minute in both last season’s Premier League H2Hs. Adding to manager Jesse Marsch’s confidence, his men have only lost one of their previous four league visits to London (W2, D1) and could win back-to-back league matches in the capital for the first time since 2008.
