Liverpool vs. Brentford: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

New Liverpool coach Arne Slot takes charge of his first Premier League match at Anfield when his team faces Brentford on Sunday.

The Reds made a strong start to life under Slot when winning 2-0 at Ipswich on the opening weekend of the season.

Brentford also has three points on the board after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 in west London, but that was a fortunate victory and the Reds are hot favorites for this clash.

Liverpool vs. Brentford betting picks and predictions

Liverpool -1 alternative spread result (-150)

New Liverpool coach Arne Slot could not have hand-picked a softer introduction to the Premier League than a match-up against Ipswich, a team that was playing in League One, the third tier of English soccer, just two years ago.

The Reds took time to warm to their task as they adapted to a new way of playing after the off-season departure of long-serving manager Jurgen Klopp, but everything came together nicely in the second half and they recorded a comfortable 2-0 success.

Slot will get more time to work with his team before they tackle the top clubs in England too, and his squad should take their second test of the season, a home match against Brentford, in stride.

Brentford finished 16th last season and Slot will be hugely disappointed if he cannot record his first home win in his debut match at Anfield.

The Bees have won only one of their last 13 matches against the Reds and Liverpool have been successful in four of the teams' six Premier League meetings over the last three seasons.

Last season's meetings between the teams were not even particularly close as Liverpool won 3-0 at Anfield and 4-1 in London and the Reds should be capable of posting their first home victory of the season by a margin of at least two goals.

Liverpool won 15 of their 19 home league matches last season, losing only once in front of their own fans, while Brentford lost 12 times in their EPL road games.

The London club were somewhat fortunate to emerge with a 2-1 win in their first match against Crystal Palace and look to have a tough task ahead of them on Sunday.

Liverpool 3-1 correct score (+1000)

For a bet at bigger odds, a correct-score wager on Liverpool to win 3-1 has plenty of appeal.

The Reds won both the teams' meetings last season by margins of three goals but they would be happy enough with a 3-1 success this time. Brentford's strength is in attack and they are capable of getting on the scoresheet in defeat.

Liverpool have scored three or more goals in seven of their last nine games against Brentford and their offensive play seemed to be coming together nicely in the second half against Ipswich at Portman Road.

Brentford have failed to score in their last three visits to Anfield but they will pose a bigger threat to the Liverpool defense than Ipswich did and they scored in six of their final seven road games last season.

Mohamed Salah first goalscorer (+333)

Mohamed Salah scored 18 league goals for Liverpool last season. The Egyptian star looked refreshed and ready to go against Ipswich when he opened his account for the 2024/25 season with the game's second goal.

Salah found the net twice in this fixture last season, scoring once in each half, and he looks a solid pick to open the scoring this time.

Liverpool had 50 touches of the ball in the Ipswich penalty area, winning 10 corner-kicks. If they can start this match the way they finished their opening game, Salah should soon have chances to add to his tally.

He has scored four goals in the last three meetings with Brentford, scoring the only goal of the game in their Anfield clash in the 2022/23 season, and should enjoy going up against one of the less trustworthy defenses in the Premier League again.
