Command Analysis

Liverpool

Current form
Arne Sloth's start in the Premier League as Liverpool's head coach was a success. They managed to beat newcomer Ipswich Town 2-0 away. It's not as if the victory was easy or effortless. In the first half, the Merseysiders couldn't find a way to break into their well-organised defensive opponent. However, after the break, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah had their say, and the opponent couldn't handle the pressure and high speeds. The victory could have been more confident, but the Liverpool team failed to capitalise on many opportunities.
Taking into account pre-season friendlies, Liverpool under Arne Sloth have not suffered a single defeat – five wins and one draw. It should be noted that they have conceded only two goals in this period.
Liverpool still haven't signed anyone. It has become known that Georgian goalkeeper Georgiy Mamardashvili has already agreed on the terms of his personal contract. So far we have only seen exit transfers - following Carvalho, van den Berg and Bobby Clarke have left.
Disqualifications and injuries
Liverpool have no losses in their squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Liverpool players have committed more fouls than their opponents in eight of their last nine matches.

Brentford

Current form
In the first round https://www.brentfordfc.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">, Brentford played a derby with Crystal Palace and won 2-1. The game was not without a referee error in favor of the Bees. Overall, the game was fairly open and equal. The striker Yoan Wissa scored another goal. Taking into account the end of last season, he has not been without goals scored in three games in a row.
It should be noted that since entering the Premier League in the 2021/22 season, the Londoners have never lost in the opening rounds and extended their successful streak. Continuing in the same spirit in the second round will not be easy, given that Liverpool have always won in the three previous head-to-head matches, and in the last two with a solid handicap of three goals.
Brentford were in the market for a centre-back, with Dutchman Sepp van den Berg set to join the club. It is also worth noting that the club are trying to get rid of Ivan Toney, who was left out of the squad for the match against Crystal Palace and about whom Thomas Frank said he was not sure he would appear in the team.
Disqualifications and injuries
Injured and out today are Hickey, Thiago, Dasilva. Toney suspended from club matches.
Interesting trends for betting
- There have been more than nine corners in six of Brentford's last eight matches.
- The Bees have won only three of their previous 14 away matches in the Premier League.
- Both teams to score have been the bet in six of Brentford's last eight away Premier League games.
Probable line-up : Flekken - Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer - Noergaard, Jensen, Janelt - Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.

Arne Slot confidently took over the reins from Jurgen Klopp. Both in friendly matches and in the first round, the Merseysiders work reliably in defense, creating a large number of dangerous moments at the opponent's goal. It is not always possible to clearly use their chances, but in terms of play , Liverpool has been on the move since the start of the season. Brentford did not impress with anything special at the start, there are problems in defense, the same Crystal Palace could have scored more than once. We believe that the favorite will secure a confident victory on their home field today.
Our prediction is a Liverpool win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.61
