Our Brentford vs Liverpool prediction covers a 3pm Irish time kick-off at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday 17 October. Brentford are fourth and unbeaten, with four draws in six games. Liverpool are ninth after a 3-0 home defeat by Manchester City, so the visitors need a response.
What is the Brentford vs Liverpool prediction?
API-Football’s data model gives Brentford a 35% chance, the draw 35% and Liverpool 30%. Its advice is a double chance of Brentford or a draw, with fewer than 2.5 goals for Brentford and fewer than 1.5 for Liverpool. These percentages are a statistical estimate, so they are not a promise of any result.
The comparison figures pull in different directions. Brentford lead on attack at 64% to 36%, and the model’s own goal distribution favours them at 70% to 30%. However, Liverpool lead on defence at 55% to 45%, on head-to-head at 71% to 29% and on goals at 69% to 31%. The combined total is 52.3% for Liverpool and 47.7% for Brentford.
Where do Brentford and Liverpool sit in the Premier League table?
Brentford are fourth with 10 points from six games. They have won two and drawn four, and they have scored 12 and conceded six, for a goal difference of +6. They are unbeaten, and they have drawn at Villa and at Bournemouth.
Liverpool are ninth with 9 points, after two wins, three draws and a defeat. They have scored seven and conceded seven, so their goal difference is level at zero. As a result, a win at Brentford would lift them to 12 points, which matters because only a few points separate fourth from ninth.
How have Brentford and Liverpool been playing recently?
Brentford drew 2-2 at Aston Villa on 10 October. Before that they beat Chelsea 3-0 at home on 18 September, drew 2-2 at Bournemouth on 12 September and drew 1-1 with Sunderland at home on 5 September. That is a steady run, although they have not won since the Chelsea game.
Liverpool lost 3-0 at home to Manchester City on 11 October, which you can read about in our Liverpool vs Manchester City match report. Before that they won 1-0 at Bournemouth on 20 September, drew 0-0 with Fulham at home on 12 September and won 2-0 at Ipswich on 4 September. So their results away from home have been better than the City defeat suggests.
What does the head-to-head record say?
API-Football lists the last ten meetings, all in the Premier League. Liverpool won six, Brentford won two and two were drawn. The most recent was a 1-1 draw at Liverpool on 24 May 2026, and the one before it was a 3-2 Brentford home win on 25 October 2025.
Earlier, Liverpool won 2-0 at Brentford on 18 January 2025 and 4-1 there on 17 February 2024. In September 2021 the two drew 3-3 at Brentford. Because Brentford took three points in the last league game at their ground, the 71% head-to-head figure for Liverpool is less one-sided than it looks.
What could decide Brentford vs Liverpool?
