Leicester City v Brentford Odds and Match Preview

Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Friday 21st February 2025

Leicester City have hardly moved any distance from the Premier League relegation zone since the early stages of the campaign and they will be desperate to avoid returning straight back down to the Championship following their promotion last term.

Reason to be optimistic

This has thus far been an extremely tough season for Leicester City, the East Midlands side managing just four wins whilst on Premier League duty and currently sitting second from bottom in the league standings. With just two points separating them from safety, there’s every reason to be optimistic about the Foxes’ chances of avoiding the drop but they clearly need to start picking up wins. The visit of Brentford on Friday evening is a good chance for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s troops to return to winning ways following back-to-back defeats to Everton (4-0), Manchester United (2-1 in FA Cup) and Arsenal, however it’s hard too get too excited about their chances this week.

European berth

Having finished the 2023/24 Premier League campaign in 16th position with 39 points, Brentford are just five points shy of this total after 25 rounds of league fixtures and they are still in with a shout of claiming a European berth at the end of the season. Nevertheless, in order to achieve this the Bees need to up their game considerably and with wins in two of their last three outings, there’s reason to believe that they can return home from the King Power Stadium with the points in the bag.

Team News:

• Leicester City: The Foxes will be without Ricardo Pereira (hamstring strain) and Abdul Fatawu (knee injury). Jamie Vardy and Jannik Vestergaard are doubtful due to knocks.

   

• Brentford: The Bees are missing Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, and Kristoffer Ajer due to injuries. Christian Norgaard is available after his recent red card was overturned on appeal.

   

Head-to-Head:

In their last five Premier League meetings, Leicester City have won two, Brentford have won one, and two matches ended in draws. The most recent encounter on November 30, 2024, saw Brentford secure a 4-1 victory at home.

Our Verdict

All things considered, Brentford should ease to three points here. Thomas Frank’s men have been defensively suspect at times this season and as such, Leicester City could easily find a way through but this has the makings of yet another defeat for the Foxes.
