Leeds United are preparing to face Brentford, with team news and stats emerging before the match.
Leeds’ Home Form Against Brentford
Leeds have a strong home record against Brentford. They’ve only lost one of their last 16 home league games against Brentford, winning seven and drawing eight. Leeds are unbeaten in seven home league games against Brentford since a 1-0 loss in February 2015. Four of the last six league games between Brentford and Leeds have been drawn, with both sides winning once each in that run.
Brentford’s Mixed Away Record
Brentford’s away form has been inconsistent. They lost seven of their first eight away Premier League games this season, winning one. However, Brentford have now won five of their last seven on the road, drawing one and losing one. Only Arsenal, with 18, have picked up more away points than Brentford, with 16, in this run.
Leeds’ Recent Struggles and Set-Piece Threat
Leeds are currently winless in their last five Premier League games, drawing three and losing two. They have failed to score in each of their last three matches. They last had a longer run without a goal in February/March 2022 (4 games). Leeds have lost 1-0 in their last two Premier League home games against Manchester City and Sunderland.
Excluding penalties, Leeds have scored a higher share of their Premier League goals from set pieces this season than any other side, at 35.1% (13/37). Anton Stach has created the most chances from set plays in the Premier League this season for Leeds United, with 27, level with Bruno Fernandes.
Brentford’s Goalscoring Threat and Set-Piece Defence
Brentford have a potent goalscoring threat in Igor Thiago, who has netted 19 Premier League goals this season. He could be the third Bees player to score 20 in a season, along with Ivan Toney in 2022-23 and Bryan Mbeumo in 2024-25. Should Thiago score, the Bees would have the most different players score 20+ goals in a season since they joined the league in 2021-22.
Only Everton and Wolves, with six each, have conceded fewer goals from set pieces, excluding penalties, this term than Brentford, who have conceded seven.
Brentford’s Point Dropping Concerns
Brentford have a tendency to drop points from winning positions. Across the last three seasons, Brentford have dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side, with 69. They drew 2-2 from 2-0 ahead against bottom side Wolves last time out.
Newly Promoted Opposition
- Brentford have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League games against newly promoted opponents.
- That defeat was a 1-2 loss at Sunderland in August 2025.
Lineups are announced and players are warming up ahead of the match.
