I'm backing both teams to score when Brentford host Liverpool on 17 October 2026 at 17:00. Brentford are unbeaten in 11 straight matches and have scored in every game this season, which tells me they're not a side that sits deep and absorbs pressure. Liverpool lost their previous league match but have won three away games on the bounce, so they'll come here with attacking intent. I see a match where both sides create chances and both find the net.
Form and H2H
Brentford's last ten games read W6 D4 L0, averaging 3.09 goals for and 1.00 against. I'm impressed by that defensive record, but their attacking output is the real story. Liverpool are W5 D4 L1 in their last ten, scoring 1.81 per game away from home. I've looked at the head-to-head record and it's heavily skewed toward Liverpool in recent years, but that doesn't change what I see in Brentford's current form. The Bees have kept clean sheets in only two of their last ten matches, and Liverpool's away record suggests they'll test that defence.
Best bet
I'm taking Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.46 on 1xBet. My reasoning is straightforward: Brentford have scored in 12 consecutive matches and won't change their approach at home. Liverpool have the quality to break down most defences, and they've shown they can score away from Anfield. I'll also consider Over 2.5 at 1.52, since I expect an open game with chances at both ends. The Asian Handicap -0.25 for Brentford at 2.16 appeals if I want to back the home side with a safety net.
Odds to watch
I'm monitoring the 1X2 line closely: Brentford at 2.51, the draw at 3.74, and Liverpool at 2.87. The draw price interests me given both sides' recent form, but I'm most confident in the Both Teams to Score market. Under 2.5 sits at 2.33, which I'll avoid given what I've seen from Brentford's scoring streak. If I'm wrong about the goals and the match stays tight, the draw at 3.74 offers decent value for a match between two sides that have shown they can frustrate each other.
