Preview
Leicester finished their pre-season campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Sevilla to make it four wins out of their last 4 matches.
Dewsbury-Hall scored the only goal of the contest as the Foxes gained immense confidence and are hopeful of a better Premier League season when they welcome Brentford on Sunday.
The Foxes finished 8th in the league last season and are eyeing major improvement despite not making any signings this summer.
On the other hand, Brentford managed a decent 13th place finish on return to the Premier League last season and are eyeing solidity this time.
The Bees head into this after a 1-0 win over Betis in their final pre-season clash last Saturday, where Mbuemo scored the lone goal.
This ensured successive wins for Brentford in pre-season as they look to continue with the consistency when the season begins on Sunday.
The H2H recently between the two sides has seen Leicester win the last 4 matches with the last one being a 2-1 win at home in March.

Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Brentford
Both sides are in good form heading into the season due to which we expect a closely fought affair. The home fans will be in full flow egging the team but Brentford aren’t to be left behind.
Brentford have the in-form Mbuemo and Toney in red hot form, and we see them get an away win here.
Players to watch out for: Maddison, Vardy, Toney and Wissa.
