After a streak of 4 consecutive losses across all competitions, Liverpool showcased comprehensive strength by scoring 5 goals against Frankfurt, maintaining an 88% passing accuracy, controlling 61% possession, and firing 17 shots with 8 on target.

Returning to the Premier League, Liverpool will face Brentford at 2:00 AM on October 26 (Vietnam time). According to this season’s stats, Liverpool has lost 3 straight Premier League matches, each of which conceded goals from the 84th minute onward, putting them at risk of becoming the first team in Premier League history to lose 4 consecutive matches due to late goals.

According to the Opta supercomputer, Brentford boasts an efficient attack this season, averaging 12.3 shots per game with a 47% shot accuracy. In their 2-0 win over West Ham, Brentford took 15 shots in just the first half, marking the highest number since the 2023-24 season. They also average 53% ball possession per match and create 7 clear chances from wingers, demonstrating versatile attacking and quick counterattacks.

Opta highlights that Liverpool still maintains an impressive attacking performance with an average of 14.2 shots per match, 6.5 on target, and 59% possession. Their defense faces challenges conceding late goals, but overall defensive performance remains solid with 1.2 crucial saves per game. According to the Opta supercomputer, Liverpool has a 54% chance of winning, Brentford 23.5%, and a draw probability of 22.5%.

Historical encounters also favor Liverpool, who have won all 5 recent matches against Brentford, scoring at least once each game, although they haven’t won 4 consecutive away games in London since 1970. Brentford, with an effective attack and clinical finishing, promises to challenge the champions.

Will Liverpool capitalize on their superior attacking and possession stats to extend their winning streak, or will Brentford continue to surprise? The answer will come in this weekend’s match, with all indicators pointing to an exciting contest.
