Current streaks

Recent form

Brentford

Brentford's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Bees have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 4-3 victory over Ipswich Town and 3-2 win against Bournemouth, contributing to an impressive average of 3.33 total goals per game. Their attacking prowess is evident, scoring 1.67 goals per match, but they've struggled defensively, conceding at the same rate. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these fixtures, and 67% of the matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting Brentford's games are often entertaining for neutrals. Despite their mid-table position, the Bees have managed only one clean sheet in this period, indicating room for improvement in their defensive organisation.

Leicester

Leicester City are enduring a challenging period, currently languishing in 16th position in the Premier League with just 10 points from 12 games. The Foxes are on a worrying run of form, having lost four of their last six matches across all competitions, including a current streak of three consecutive defeats. Their defensive frailties are particularly concerning, with Leicester failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings and conceding a whopping 16 goals during this period, at an alarming rate of 2.67 per game. The 5-2 League Cup defeat to Manchester United stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. On a more positive note, Leicester have been involved in entertaining matches, with over 2.5 goals occurring in 83% of their recent games and both teams scoring in 83% of encounters. However, the team's inability to secure victories, having gone five games without a win, will be a major worry for the Leicester faithful.

Recent home/away form

Brentford

Brentford have been in scintillating form at home, boasting an impressive unbeaten run of six matches with four wins and two draws. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, with the Bees netting a remarkable 17 goals in these six games, averaging 2.83 goals per match. The standout fixtures were high-scoring affairs, including a thrilling 5-3 victory over Wolves and a 4-3 win against Ipswich Town, contributing to an astonishing total goals average of 4.67 per game. Whilst their attacking flair is evident, Brentford's defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding in every match and allowing 1.83 goals per game. This defensive vulnerability has led to both teams scoring in 100% of these home fixtures, with 67% of the matches featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting that fans at the Brentford Community Stadium have been treated to some exhilarating, goal-laden encounters.

Leicester

Leicester's away form has been notably inconsistent, with the Foxes struggling to find their footing on the road. Their last six away matches have yielded just one victory, against Southampton, whilst suffering three defeats and securing two draws. Defensively, Leicester have been particularly vulnerable, conceding a worrying 15 goals in these six games, averaging 2.5 goals conceded per match. The 5-2 defeat to Manchester United in the League Cup stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, highlighting their defensive frailties. Despite their struggles, Leicester have managed to find the back of the net in five out of six away games, demonstrating some attacking prowess. However, their inability to keep clean sheets, with only one in this run, has contributed to their poor away record and their current 16th position in the league.
