Dragging themselves to an eye-catching 1-0 victory away at West Ham last weekend, the Bees find themselves sat within touching distance of finding a route into the top-half of the Premier League standings.

Suffering late heartbreak at the hands of title contenders Arsenal last time out, Leicester are at the heart of a relegation scrap and have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their Premier League status.

On a night when Brentford are capable of breaking more records, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Leicester vs Brentford bet builder tips.

The Bees continue to shine on the road

While Brentford might have failed to register back-to-back Premier League victories so far this season, Thomas Frank’s men are sat within touching distance of skyrocketing their way into the top-10.

Claiming what was a deserved 1-0 victory away at London rivals West Ham last week, Friday’s guests have continued to gain a reputation for their success on the road.

Getting the New Year underway with a dominant 5-0 romp away at leading relegation scrappers Southampton, Brentford have won all of their last three consecutive Premier League showdowns away from the Gtech.

In fact, winning those three consecutive away fixtures by an aggregate score of 8-1, Brentford have also clinched three straight Premier League wins away from the Gtech for the first time in history.

Likewise, registering 10 points from their previous four top-flight battles outside of west London, Frank’s side should be excited by a trip to the King Power on Friday night.

The pressure mounts on van Nistelrooy

Eventually falling to a late 2-0 loss at home against Arsenal last weekend, Leicester have what is a real battle on their hands in the race to avoid an immediate Championship return.

Getting Friday’s showdown underway sat down in 19th and two points adrift of Premier League safety, Ruud van Nistelrooy has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders.

Watching their FA Cup adventure come to an end earlier in the month as they slumped to a controversial 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford, the Foxes have shown a string of glaring issues on either side of opening the New Year.

Getting February underway with a nightmare 4-0 drumming at the hands of Everton, Leicester have now lost 10 of their previous 11 meetings against Premier League opposition across all competitions.

It should also be highlighted, the Premier League relegation scrappers have lost all of their last five consecutive top-flight showdowns at the King Power.

Brentford to cash in on a leaky Leicester defence

Storming their way to what was a sensational 4-1 victory when they welcomed Leicester to west London for their reverse Premier League meeting on November 30th, Brentford will be seeking a repeat performance here.

Notching eight goals in their three-match winning run away from the Gtech, Frank’s side will be looking to cash in on a Leicester defence that has shown some glaring struggles this season.

Already conceding 55 goals in their 25 Premier League appearances so far this season, Friday’s hosts hold the second-worst defensive tally among England’s elite.

In fact, the Foxes have now conceded at least a pair of goals in 12 of their previous 13 appearances across all competitions.

Likewise, losing all of their last five consecutive Premier League showdowns at the King Power by an aggregate score of 11-0, Leicester have also failed to notch a single clean sheet on home soil since the start of October.
