What is the head-to-head record between Leeds United and Brentford?
The two sides drew 0-0 the last time they met, at Leeds United in the Premier League on 21 March 2026. That's the only meeting between them in our records, so there isn't a pattern to lean on beyond that single goalless draw.
How have Leeds United and Brentford been playing?
Leeds United have won their last two competitive matches, both away at Nottingham Forest: 1-0 in the Premier League on 22 August 2026, then 2-0 in the EFL Cup three days later. Before that they were unbeaten across a run of pre-season friendlies, including a 4-0 win over FC Augsburg and a 2-0 win against RB Leipzig, though they did concede heavily in a 6-5 defeat to Manchester United and a 2-4 loss at Liverpool.
Brentford's form going into this one looks even sharper in front of goal. They beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in the Premier League on 22 August 2026, then put six past Birmingham City in the EFL Cup three days later. Their pre-season form points the same way: a 7-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Their last Premier League fixture of the previous season had been a 1-1 draw away at Liverpool.
Both clubs, in other words, arrive with more goals scored than conceded in recent weeks. Brentford's have come more freely.
Leeds United vs Brentford prediction
Brentford should edge this one in the Premier League, with Leeds United's home defence facing the toughest attacking side they've met so far this season. Brentford have scored nine goals in their last two competitive outings and put three past a Tottenham Hotspur side away from home, while Leeds have been solid rather than prolific, winning by a single goal at Forest before adding a two-goal cup win. The reverse fixture in March finished goalless, but neither side looks built for that kind of game right now.
