They are unbeaten in their previous three league outings on the road and they look ready to add to the home woes of a struggling Leeds side. Jesse Marsch’s troops have only picked up one league victory at Elland Road in their last seven attempts – that was a 4-3 over Bournemouth – although they did thump Cardiff 5-2 at home in an FA Cup third-round replay in midweek. Keeping clean sheets has been an issue for the Whites, as they have managed just two shutouts on home turf across all competitions this season, while they have seen their defence breached 14 times in their last six competitive games at home.
Sunday’s meeting has the makings of an entertaining affair, –especially given that the Bees won 5-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium in September – and it is a match that the Bees will be confident of claiming the spoils in.

Bees at the double Not since 2014-15 have Brentford completed a league double over Leeds United, those victories coming in the Championship.

Tip: Brentford to win and over 2. 5 goals @ 3/1 with Betfred Mee set to take advantage As mentioned, defence has been an area of concern for Leeds and their tally of 33 goals conceded is eclipsed only by Nottingham Forest (34), Southampton (34) and Bournemouth (41). The Whites need to find a way to plug the gaps at the back but that is unlikely to happen against Brentford, who have netted 32 times in the top flight – the joint-seventh best record in the division.
Since that defeat by Thomas Frank’s men, Leeds have only managed to pick up two victories in 12 top-flight games and they head into Sunday's encounter on a five-match winless run in the league. It has been a completely different story for Brentford and they arrive in West Yorkshire with just one defeat from their previous 10 league assignments, while they are searching for their fourth straight top-flight win after triumphs over West Ham, Liverpool and Bournemouth. The Bees’ away form has also picked up.
