Brentford vs Liverpool prediction, H2H and probable lineups, October 25, 2025
Liverpool head to the Gtech Community Stadium this weekend looking to keep their Premier League momentum going against a tricky Brentford side that never makes life easy at home. The Bees have been inconsistent this season but can sting big teams on their day, while Liverpool have looked sharp and hungry under Jurgen Klopp’s revamped squad.
Form Guide
Brentford: The Bees have had a rough few weeks, managing only one win in their last five league games. They’re creating chances but struggling to turn them into goals, and defensive lapses have cost them points. Thomas Frank will hope home support lifts his side, especially after that narrow defeat last weekend.
Liverpool: The Reds are on fire. They’ve won four of their last five in the league, playing confident, high-energy football. Darwin Núñez and Mohamed Salah are both in fine form, and Klopp seems to have found balance between attack and defense. Still, Liverpool’s away record hasn’t been flawless, so this trip to Brentford will test their resilience.
Head-to-Head
These two have met six times in the Premier League era, with Liverpool winning four, Brentford one, and one draw between them. Brentford famously stunned Liverpool 3-1 at home back in 2023, but since then, the Reds have had the upper hand. Last season’s meeting at Anfield ended 2-0 in Liverpool’s favor.
