An intriguing Premier League clash awaits at Anfield as Liverpool host Brentford on the penultimate matchday of the 2026-25 season. Liverpool, with a win rate of 47%, have endured a mixed run of late, registering two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five outings. Their home advantage is significant, reflected in a 45% win probability, identical to the draw likelihood against a resilient Brentford side.

The Bees arrive with a slightly lower win rate of 41% but boast an impressive recent unbeaten streak of four draws and one win in their last five, demonstrating their capacity to grind out results. Goals could be on the cards, with Liverpool netting 52 and conceding 42 this season, while Brentford have scored 48 and let in 44.
