Leeds v Brentford Betting Tips [5 December 2021]

Both Leeds United and Brentford have struggled for the better part of this season and they will hope to rise as far away as possible from the relegation zone. Leeds hosts their meeting with Brentford with just a point standing between the two sides. Leeds have 15 points, in 15th place and Brentford 12th with 16 points. Going to this game, Leeds needed a stoppage time penalty to see off Crystal Palace 1-0; that was their third win in the league this season. It was also their second straight clean sheet, but both sides have scored in three of their last five matches. At home, they have failed to score in just two of the last 10 games in the league; their last five have come with just two clean sheets.

Brentford are coming from a 2-0 loss at Tottenham and are struggling to live to the standards they set in the early stages of the season. They have just one win in the last seven league matches and have lost five of the seven league games. They’ve been weak defensively, and going to this game they have conceded two or more goals in four of the last five. However, they have scored in four of the last five, with the only one they’ve failed to score in, being the most recent result. Meanwhile, they have just one clean sheet in their last five matches.

Leeds United will have an upper hand here, not just by playing at home, but they face a side that has been really poor defensively. Brentford have also done poorly in most of their recent league matches and we will go with a Leeds United win.
