Bristol City - Brentford betting tips and odds

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

Though we can’t say for certain, all signs are pointing towards Brentford as the final winner of this showdown. Bristol City have been known to surprise us from time to time, though, so the match isn’t a done deal.

team from Bristol’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Millwall . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 4:1 defeat.

Brentford played as hosts in the previous round when their match against Watford swung heavily in their favour in the second half. The victory itself wasn’t all that surprising, though nobody expected them to win with a 2:0.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The Bees have a very strong track record when it comes to scoring in away games – 7 goals in their previous 3 games, to be specific. An Over 4.5 Bet is not often a good idea, but it might be time to consider one.

We can rely on the teams’ previous meeting as a point of reference. Earlier in the season, Brentford won a Championship match against Bristol City in a relatively close game. With that in mind, the 1.73 odds on the visitors winning make a lot of sense.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
