Over their last 2 league games Brentford have taken 1 win and 1 draw (W D). Brentford are averaging 2.0 scored and 0.5 conceded per game, keeping 1 clean sheet so far.

Their last 10 meetings have produced 2 wins for Leeds, 2 for Brentford and 6 draws, averaging 2.3 goals a game. That recent history is one of the inputs behind the rating below.

Weighing recent scoring rates, home and away splits and the head-to-head record through a Poisson model with a Dixon-Coles low-score adjustment, our engine lands on Under 3.5 Goals (Under 3.5) as the pick, rated 86% at odds of 1.16. The model's expected-goals line for this fixture is 1.34 to 0.64.

Leeds' modest home attacking output (1.34 xG) against Brentford's strong away defence creates a low-scoring scenario. H2H record shows multiple goalless and 1-1 draws, reinforcing the Under 3.5 thesis.
