Liverpool is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 4 of their last 6 as well as 12 of their last 16 matches, but they are coming off of a loss in their last match and a draw in their last EPL match. They only came away with a 1-1 draw away from home against Luton Town in their league match last week and then they followed up with a 3-2 loss away from home against Toulouse in Europa League. They are a much better team than the way they played in those matches though and they are going to be hungry for a better match here at home after playing 3 straight away from home. When playing at home, they have been much better as they have won all 8 of their matches there this season across all competitions and they have won all 8 of those matches by 2 or more goals as well. They have scored 14 goals in their 5 league home matches this season, averaging close to 3 goals scored per match in those, and they have only allowed 2 goals in those 5 home matches as well. They are going up against a Brentford side that has also been in good form recently as they have won their last 3 straight matches, but 2 of those wins came at home as they have not been as good away from home recently. When playing away from home, they have lost 2 of their last 4 matches with 1 win in that span. Brentford has also had a lot of scoring troubles this season with Ivan Toney suspended and they have not been very consistent on the attack because of it. Liverpool has been much better on defense at home all year and their attack has also been very potent. Liverpool will win this match at home by 2 or more goals, take Liverpool -1.5 here.
England Premier League: Liverpool -1.5, Rot. 200118
