Leeds take on the visitors Brentford in the round 21 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, January 22nd at Eland Road (Leeds).
Leeds are again not particularly confident in the fight for survival. The Peacocks took a controversial step a little less than a year ago - the club's management dismissed the cult coach, Bielsa, not remembering that he finally brought the project to the "elite" and spent a solid starting season with him. But the risk of falling into the Championship was too high - and this outweighed. It seems that the successor, Jesse Marsh, did it, kept his "registration permit" or maybe he just delayed the issue for a year? After a good start, there were only 2 wins in the Premier League, when they beat Liverpool with Bournemouth in a row. But after that, it is not possible to again mark the victory for 5 rounds in a row. So far, the bosses of the "whites" are not changing the coach, but buying newcomers, and for good money - will it help?

Brentford can try to get a ticket to European competitions. The Bees played in the Premier League for the first time in 2021. Prior to that, they played at the level of the highest English football division back in the middle of the last century. But everyone noted that this is a curious, original project, and last season Thomas Frank and his wards managed to exceed any expectations. And, most importantly, the courage has not gone away even now, in the next draw, which often becomes fatal for the ex-newcomer. Brentford already have 7 wins and 29 points after 19 games played - the European cups’ zone is just around the corner. Taking into account the fact that there have been no defeats for 7 rounds already, and 4 out of 5 last rounds have been won, there is every chance to compete for at least the 7th position.
Last season, Leeds proved to be stronger than the newcomer to the Premier League: a draw and a victory. But in September, Brentford won 5-2 at home. Experts, judging by the quotes, are more confident in Leeds. But Brentford looks much better, especially in winter - they should at least not lose on the road.
Prediction for the match: Brentford not to lose (X2).
