Match Betting (1x2)
Brentford are knocking on the door when it comes to automatic promotion from the Championship, with Thomas Frank’s side breathing down the necks of Leeds United and West Brom. The London side now have a chance to beat the former and really drive home their claims.
The Bees are as big as 37/20 with Unibet to win the match on Tuesday 11 February, with Brentford having won eight of their fourteen games at Griffin Park, although they have recently been turned over at home to Leicester and Nottingham Forest.
It’s fair to say that Leeds United are stuttering at the worst possible time, with the Whites having lost four of their previous five matches in all competitions and it could have been five if they hadn’t come back from two goals down against Millwall.
Paddy Power offer 11/8 about the Yorkshire side boosting their automatic promotion claims and they will be well supported by their band of travelling supporters, although recent form has been a concern.
The draw is available at 12/5 and it’s a result that would probably benefit Leeds the most considering that they have a points advantage and will be running into Brentford soon after the latter claimed a 5-1 victory at Hull.
Asian Handicap
Brentford have recently enjoyed some enormous victories including a 4-0 triumph at Ashton Gate, a 5-1 triumph at the KCom Stadium and there was also a 3-1 win over QPR. Therefore, there will be some punters expecting the Bees to enjoy a sizeable advantage.
Some customers might want to back Brentford with an Asian Handicap of -1 or even -1.5. In the case of the latter, you would need the home side to enjoy a two-goal margin of victory or bigger, while you can also choose to back the Bees off zero on the Asian Lines and that would mean money back if the game is drawn.
However, Leeds have won over 50% of away games and perhaps the value could be backing the visitors off zero on the Asian Handicap considering they were in excellent form at the beginning of the season.
Both Teams to Score
There was only one goal scored when the teams met in August and perhaps Leeds will aim to make things tight at Griffin Park considering that other teams have claimed a 1-0 victory there recently.
The “No” option on the Both Teams to Score market is available at 11/10 and that could be attractive if the visitors were able to nullify their high-scoring opponents.
The “Yes” option is on offer at 8/11 and an early goal from either team could light the blue touch paper.
