Brentford v Leicester
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 30th November at 15:00
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Brentford and Leicester will lock horns in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Bees secured their first away point of the season by battling to a 0-0 draw at Everton last weekend.
As for Leicester, they parted company with manager Steve Cooper following last Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
⭐ Brentford v Leicester Best Bets
Bryan Mbeumo has been Brentford’s standout performer this season. In just 12 Premier League matches this term, the Bees forward has scored eight goals and assisted one. Only Erling Haaland (12) and Mohamed Salah (10) have netted more top-flight goals than Mbeumo this season.
Thus, the Brentford ace appeals to register another goal involvement against a Leicester side that have failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their 12 league games this season.
👕 Brentford v Leicester Predicted XI
🔍 Brentford v Leicester Players to Watch
🔴 Vitaly Janelt
Vitaly Janelt has been a frequent offender for Brentford this season, making him an attractive option to commit at least one foul against Leicester on Saturday. The German midfielder has given away a free-kick in five of his last six Premier League appearances.
He was guilty of multiple offences in two of those six outings. Janelt has also committed a combined total of four fouls across his two EFL Cup appearances for Brentford this season.
🔵 Facundo Buonanotte
Look to Facundo Buonanotte to be fouled twice or more on Saturday. The Argentine attacker has made an impressive start to life on loan at Leicester. He has been fouled 16 times across his eight Premier League starts for the Foxes this season.
Dig a little deeper, and you will discover that Buonanotte has drawn multiple fouls from the opposition in six of the eight Premier League games he has started this term.

💻 Brentford v Leicester Form and Tactics
Brentford have done the majority of their best work at home this season. In fact, 16 of their 17 Premier League points have been picked up in front of their own supporters.
Following Cristian Norgaard’s first-half red card at Everton last week, Brentford had to dig deep to claim a 0-0 draw. The Bees’ backline showed excellent defensive resilience, limiting Everton to an xG of 1.20 and just five on–target efforts.
That was just the second time that Brentford have failed to score in 12 top-flight outings this term. The Bees have made the net bulge in each of their six home games thus far.
Despite receiving a red card last Saturday, Brentford are statistically the Premier League’s best-behaved side this term when it comes to collecting yellow cards. Thomas Frank’s team have been shown a league-low 17 yellow cards across the opening 12 rounds of top-flight action.
Leicester’s 2-1 loss at home to Chelsea last Saturday extended their winless run in the Premier League to four matches. It was a lot more comfortable for Chelsea than the scoreline suggests. The Foxes lost the xG battle 1.11 to 2.275. The shot count was 16-4 in Chelsea’s favour, with the Blues landing seven on-target efforts, while Leicester’s solitary shot on target came via the penalty kick they converted in the dying embers of the game.
One notable thing about Leicester is their lack of discipline. They received four yellow cards against Chelsea last weekend. That means the Foxes have racked up 34 cautions across their opening 12 league games of the season, a tally topped by only three other top-flight teams.
The now departed Steve Cooper’s safety-first preferences can perhaps be attributed to Leicester averaging a lowly 3.42 corners per game in the Premier League this season.
