Leicester City vs Brentford Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Foxes haven’t been able to keep a clean sheet in the last 21 matches.

Leicester City will be going head-to-head against Brentford in match week 26 of the Premier League 2024-25 edition. They are in the 19th spot in the league and in the relegation zone. They have won four matches in 25 games as of now. Brentford are in 11th place after winning 10 matches in the same number of games.

The Foxes will be at home but will be low on confidence because of their lacklustre performances this season. Leicester City fell prey to Arsenal in their last Premier League fixture. A win for the Foxes can straightaway take them out of the relegation zone but it is not going to be an easy match for them considering their current form.

The Bees will be playing in back-to-back away games. They are coming in after winning their previous league fixture against West Ham.

Brentford took the lead after scoring an early goal. They defended well and maintained a clean sheet which helped them grab those three points. If the Bees secure a win, they will jump up a spot in the league table.

• Stadium: King Power Stadium
• Date: Saturday, February 22
• Kick-off Time: 01:30 IST; Friday, February 21: 20:00 GMT/ 15:00 ET/ 12:00 PT

Players to Watch

Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)

The 38-year-old English forward will be leading the Foxes from the front. In 23 league matches this season, Jamie Vardy has been able to score seven goals and has also provided three assists to his fellow teammates. He can find spaces in the opponent’s defence and will once again look to put his name on the scoresheet.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

Bryan Mbeumo is in top form and has scored a good number of goals for Brentford in the league this season. Although Mbeumo has been goalless for the Bees in their last couple of Premier League games, he falls in inside the top five goal-scorers of the league this season. He will be very important for Brentford and could end up scoring a goal or two in the upcoming fixture.
