Unbeaten Brentford have the home advantage against a Liverpool side that has only lost once in all competitions this season, so we're predicting a close and competitive 90 minutes between the pair this Saturday in the Premier League.
History doesn't offer us a clear view as to which way this game will go. The pair have met five times at the Gtech Community Stadium since the Bees made their return to the top flight of English football in 2021.
Both teams have picked up two wins apiece and produced one stalemate during that period, and four of those encounters have ended with both teams scoring.
The duo played out a 1-1 draw the last time they locked horns back in May at Anfield, and with the pair both proving hard to beat so far this season, you can see why we are backing both teams to cancel one another out this weekend.
We're still expecting plenty of goalmouth action at both ends of the pitch despite our prediction for a stalemate. Only two of Brentford's opening eight matches in league and cup this season have failed to produce over 2.5 goals.
Meanwhile, six of Liverpool's nine fixtures this season have witnessed at least three goals, with three of those games producing four goals and their last outing against Austrian side LASK in the Champions League proving a nine-goal thriller.
Four of the five meetings between these two clubs, in which Brentford have been the hosts, have produced over 3.5 goals, so there is every reason to expect goals in Saturday's latest encounter.
Brentford 2-2 Liverpool
