Brentford vs Liverpool predictions and odds: No New Year's gifts

Liverpool ended 2022 with 2 wins against Aston Villa and Leicester, thereby closing in on the top 4 of the Premier League this season. In more detail, The Kop has climbed to 6th place with 28 points after 16 rounds have passed. Of course, Klopp's teachers and students still need to work harder if they want to compete for a place in the top 4 (the group that attends the European Cup).

Returning to the first match in 2023, Liverpool aims to win all 3 points to continue to close the gap with the top 4, and at the same time bring a New Year gift to the fans. That's the theory, but looking at it in practice, this is not an easy task for Salah and his teammates.

Remember, they will have to be guests on the field of stubborn rivals Brentford. Remember, the home team of Gtech Community is in high form when unbeaten in the last 5 rounds in the English Premier League. In which, they held a draw with Tottenham and beat Man City.

If counting from the beginning of the season to now, Brentford has only lost 1 match against Arsenal out of 5 encounters with Big Six groups. Looking at the above statistics, fans will have to be extremely cautious when placing their trust in Liverpool.
