Brentford Betting Preview
Brentford comes into this game sitting in 8th place in the standings having picked up 30 points. On January 22nd Brentford faced off against Leeds United, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw. Brentford had 41 percent of the possession and zero shots on target. In this game, they need to find a way to get more offense going, and that starts with creating more shots on target. Pontus Jansson and Frank Onyeka are both injured and neither guy is going to be able to play in this game. The offense has been inconsistent and that is going to need to be improved upon here.
Southampton Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Southampton who sits in 20th place in the standings having picked up 15 points. On Tuesday, Southampton faced off against Newcastle in the EFL Cup and they were defeated 2-1. Che Adams scored in the 29th minute, but they were already down 2-0 and the offense couldn’t get anything going the rest of the game. Kyle Walker-Peters picked up a hamstring injury in the last game and he won’t be able to go in this game. Moussa Djenepo is dealing with a concussion and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to go in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
Brentford’s offense looked terrible in the last game and they are going to really struggle to score again in this game. I also expect Brentford’s defense is going to be strong here and that is going to lead to this game being lower scoring. Back the under. I am also throwing a few dollars on the exact score of 0-0.
