🔊 How will Leeds perform on the road after two successful home matches? On Sunday, Daniel Farke's squad heads to London to face Brentford at the Community Stadium.

Can the Whites challenge one of England's top home teams? We'll evaluate both teams' chances in our editorial prediction.

Head-to-head statistics Brentford - Leeds
Brentford Team Overview
The "Bees" had a challenging week, where nine points were up for grabs. They kicked things off with a home victory over Burnley (2-0). However, two subsequent away games saw them fail to pick up any points. Despite this, Brentford's standing in the league table hasn't drastically changed; Keith Andrews' squad slipped from 13th to 14th place.
In the last two rounds of the championship, Brentford played in North London. Adding a touch of irony, their defeats to Arsenal and Tottenham were strikingly similar in both performance and scoreline-0-2. In both matches, the "Bees" rarely threatened the opposition's goal, managing only 10 shots in total. The expected goals metrics for Keith Andrews' side were nearly identical: 0.35 against the "Gunners" and 0.33 against the "Spurs".

Leeds United Team Overview
Leeds experienced a rollercoaster of results across three matches last week. The Peacocks kicked off with a narrow away defeat to Manchester City (2-3). However, Daniel Farke's side bounced back in their next two games, securing four points, enough to climb from 17th to 16th place. Yet, their cushion from the relegation zone remains slim at just two points.
In their last two fixtures at Elland Road, Leeds faced off against two giants. They convincingly defeated Chelsea, showcasing attacking dominance (2.59 xG compared to 1.2 xG), which translated into a 3-1 scoreline. The visitors' sterile possession (71% to 29%) offered little help. The clash with Liverpool proved to be a more evenly matched contest. The teams shared possession almost equally (55% to 45% in favor of the Reds). Liverpool had more attempts on goal (16 to 12 shots) but were less efficient (1.5 xG to 1.71 xG). Ultimately, both sides engaged in a thrilling goal fest that ended 3-3.

Latest news
Brentford
🔝 Brentford's 24-year-old forward Igor Thiago has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for November. The Brazilian striker netted five goals in four matches last month. Other contenders for the award included Harvey Barnes (Newcastle), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton), Jeremy Doku (Manchester City), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Reece James (Chelsea), and Declan Rice (Arsenal). Over the season, the forward has scored 11 goals in 15 Premier League fixtures.
❌ Kevin Schade will miss the upcoming match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. In the foreseeable future, Keith Andrews will also be without Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo, both sidelined with cruciate ligament injuries. Josh Dasilva has been dealing with the same issue since February 2024, and his return is expected after the New Year holidays.
Leeds United
🎙 Leeds' head coach commented on the draw with Liverpool in the 15th round of the Premier League. "It was tough. Our third game in seven days against big names in European football. To come out of this with such a performance and that many points is fantastic. Off the ball, we had energy, but in possession, we made mistakes and lost steam. Regardless of what anyone says, we showed incredible resilience and flexibility. It's just one point, but the guys can take more from this than just a single point. It feels a bit like a win. All credit goes to my players. What they demonstrated on the pitch against the reigning champions was unmatched," said Daniel Farke.
❌ The main loss for Leeds was Lukas Nmecha, who had scored three goals in his last four starts. However, in his absence, Dominic Calvert-Lewin stepped up, netting the same three goals in the last three matches. Sean Longstaff and Daniel James have been sidelined a bit longer than Nmecha.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The match will be officiated by the head referee John Brooks. Over his last 20 Premier League matches, he averages 4.7 yellow cards per game. In fact, he's handed out at least four yellow cards in each of the last five rounds. Matches involving Leeds aren't far behind, averaging 4.4 cautions in their last five games. Brentford's games over the same period have seen significantly fewer infractions, with an average of 3.4. These are borderline numbers, though. We believe that the teams' proximity in the lower half of the table will add intensity to this encounter. Our prediction: total yellow cards over 3.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
If only home matches were considered, Brentford would rank fourth in the Premier League. The Bees' performances at the Brentford Community Stadium are truly impressive: three consecutive wins, with the hosts scoring three goals in each. Incidentally, the Peacocks have conceded exactly three goals in their last three away games. Containing the Londoners at home will be extremely challenging. At a minimum, Brentford are capable of scoring over 1.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Predictions
Under Keith Andrews, Brentford are renowned for their set pieces. Even the most prestigious opponents struggle with their long throw-ins from the sidelines. The Bees have scored quite a few goals from corners as well. While their average number of corners isn't particularly high-5.47-they remain highly effective. We think it's reasonable to back Brentford to win on corners.
Editor's Prediction
Brentford are among the top home teams in England, ranking in the top four of the Premier League based on home performance under Keith Andrews' guidance. In stark contrast, Leeds' away form has been poor, with just one win out of seven matches, that too against a struggling Wolverhampton side. If we consider only their away games, the Peacocks would be second from bottom in the league standings. Historically, dating back to their Championship days, the Whites have managed to beat the Bees on the road just once in eight encounters, and that was with a numerical advantage on the field. Without downplaying Leeds' recent achievements, we suggest a cautious bet on Brentford to win with a handicap (0). The predicted scoreline is a 3-1 victory for the hosts.
