Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Brentford vs. Manchester City at English Premier League

When: Sunday, October 5, 5:30 pm ET
Where: Community Stadium, Brentford, England

The Bees want the scalp of another Manchester team. They now host City, who had obligations in the UEFA Champions League, and who found their groove following a few questionable performances at the start of the season. It appears that Guardiola slowly puts all the pieces of the puzzle in the right place, and this game could tell a lot about that claim.

Brentford vs. Manchester City Preview

Brentford

The Bees have looked excellent against Manchester United, winning the game 3-1 and showing extreme quality in both attack and transition. Igor Thiago was the star of the game, as he delivered a brace in the opening 20 minutes of the event.

Brentford plays interesting and efficient football, with this event marking the fifth consecutive game in a row where both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were scored. Overall, since the season began, just one of their EPL fixtures didn’t see both teams netting and three or more hits.

Manager Keith Andrews is doing a solid job for the moment, having in mind how many good players left the Community Stadium during the summer. Plus, Andrews is a new face himself, brought in to replace Thomas Frank, who took over Tottenham.

Manchester City

Nobody talks about City, as all the eyes are pointed to Liverpool, Arsenal, and United, and the Citizens have five straight games without a loss. During this span, the team from Etihad won four matches and had a tie, against the Gunners in London, with a score of 1-1.

The defense is starting to look like itself, posting three clean sheets in four of those mentioned triumphs, while the attack netted two or more goals in all of the winning events.

Man City slowly improves its form, and that’s a fact. Sure, they had a UCL game this midweek, but we still believe they will be 100% ready in Brentford and attack the hosts.

Certainly, this unit will go hard on City, especially following last week’s win over United. Citizens are on fire lately, and their performances guarantee goals, too. Therefore, we will be picking Over 2.5 goals for this event.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
