Brentford vs Leicester City Prediction and Betting Tips | 30th November 2024

Fresh after firing Steve Cooper from the managerial position, Leicester City will travel to take on Brentford at the GTech Community Stadium on Saturday. The Bees are currently 11th in the Premier League table and will be looking to cash in on their home advantage to earn three valuable points against the Foxes.

Brentford have the best home record in the English top flight this term. They have won five and drawn one of their first six home league matches of the season. However, their awful away form, which has seen them garner just one point in six games on the road, sees them languish in the bottom half of the table.

But it's worth noting that they only trail second-placed Manchester City by just six points. That shows how tight things are in the Premier League this season and how quickly things can change in the top half of the standings.

Meanwhile, Leicester City's 2-1 loss to Chelsea last weekend proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back as far as Cooper's managerial tenure was concerned. He lasted just five months in the role. It is being widely reported that Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to take charge as their new manager.

After picking up just 10 points from their first 12 matches of the new Premier League season, the Foxes decided it was time to freshen things up at the top. The Foxes are 16th in the Premier League table with just one point separating them from the drop zone.

Brentford vs Leicester City Prediction

Brentford have been excellent at home and have plenty of goals in them. However, their vulnerability at the back could give Leicester a chance here. But the Foxes are in disarray following the sacking of Cooper and the Bees should be able to pick up a comfortable win here.
