Liverpool take on the visitors Brentford in the round 2 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 25th at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool concluded a great era this past spring, largely due to Klopp's decision. He has exerted himself so much in this final job that he's even considering retiring from his career altogether. Klopp couldn't cap off his tenure with a quadruple, but he did lift the "Merseysiders" to third place in the Premier League and won the League Cup as a parting gift. Notably, the Dutch coach inherits almost the same squad: Fabio Carvalho was sold for a decent price, Thiago Alcantara and Adrian were let go, but only youth players were signed. Negotiations for Mamardashvili dragged on, and Subimendi turned down the offer. Still, they managed to overcome Ipswich, with Salah deciding the game in the second half with a goal and an assist.

Brentford need to heed the warnings from last season. The "Bees" haven’t been in the Premier League for long but have made their mark with an unusual "Danish" approach to recruitment and a desire to play an exciting, attacking style. For a couple of years, things went well, but last season was particularly challenging, and it wasn't just due to Toney's prolonged suspension. Ivan, by the way, still hasn't resolved his future as the new season begins, leaving Thomas Frank unsure of how to structure the attack, not knowing whether his top scorer will stay. This is despite the fact that they had already agreed with Brugge back in February to sign their center forward, Igor Thiago. Right before the season started, they also signed Carvalho from Liverpool, paying £23.4 million. However, apart from him and an experienced midfielder, Armstrong, the squad remains largely the same. They started the season with a win over Crystal Palace – and without Toney, as Wissa's activity, with a goal and an assist, proved enough.
In their last six meetings, the "Bees" have won only one. The "Reds" have four victories, including wins in all three of their most recent encounters. The "Reds" are clearly stronger and are playing at home. We recommend betting on them to win Slot's first match at Anfield with a -1.5 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.5 handicap.
