Brentford too close to call

  • Our ratings have them 4th in the league, Leeds United 9th.
  • Unbeaten in their last 6 games.
  • The 4th-best attack in the league - 12 goals in 6 games.
  • Leeds United are missing Wilfried Gnonto and Mateo Joseph among 3 absentees.
  • Unlucky in front of goal - scoring well below what their chances deserve.
  • Scored in every one of their last 6 games.

šŸ’¬ Our read

Brentford are the better side on paper, rated 4th in the league versus Leeds' 9th place, and that gap showed last season when they finished 5 places clear. However, this is a tight match because Leeds have a genuine home advantage and have been strong at their place this term. The key angle is Brentford's recent bad luck in front of goal - they're creating the right chances but the finishing hasn't matched the quality of play, so when it clicks they could run riot. Watch whether Leeds' home form can paper over the cracks against a side that's simply more balanced in attack and defence.

The exact scores our numbers rate most likely, across all three results, with the chance of each. A match can land on dozens of scores, so even the leader is usually around one in eight, and it can be a draw score while we are on one side to win. Treat these as the shape of the game rather than a promise.
