Leicester City vs Brentford Premier League Prediction Match Details
On Friday night, the Premier League action continues with Matchday 26 games as Leicester City will welcome Brentford to the King Power Stadium. Can the Foxes end their losing streak, or will the Bees build on their impressive victory?
Leicester City Preview & Form
Leicester City’s struggles persist under Dutch manager Ruud van Nistelrooy as they desperately seek to halt a dismal two-match losing streak in the league. The East Midlands club has secured just one victory in their last ten Premier League outings, suffering defeat in the other nine matches. Last weekend, the Foxes fell 2-0 to title contender Arsenal at the King Power Stadium in an early kickoff game. Van Nistelrooy’s side must urgently turn their form around, as they currently sit 19th in the Premier League table with 17 points from 25 games, just two points adrift of safety. They struggle to maintain defensive compactness, having failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 18 matches.
Under pressure, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team is enduring a tough spell at home, suffering five consecutive Premier League defeats in the last six league games, with two or more goals conceded in each of the games. They have also struggled offensively, having failed to score in each of their last five consecutive home games.
Brentford Preview & Form
Brentford enters this match with a patchy run of form, having managed only three wins in their last 11 Premier League outings, alongside six defeats and two draws. However, Thomas Frank’s side claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium last weekend, marking their third win in the last ten league games. Currently sitting 11th in the Premier League table with 34 points from 24 matches, the Bees trail the top six by 11 points. Despite their inconsistency, Brentford has been an entertaining side to watch, netting 43 goals this season while conceding 42.
Thomas Frank’s team appears to be hitting their stride in away matches, boasting a three-game winning streak in the league and remaining unbeaten in their last four outings. The Bees attacking frontline has scored in nine of their 12 away matches.
