Manchester City - Brentford predictions

Manchester City are seen as favourites to win this match against Brentford. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of The Sky Blues and the 16.00 odds given to Brentford to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

The draw The Citizens recorded in the previous round was quite an upset in its own right. Most bookies priced them winning at 1.38, after all, and they were playing on their home turf. An unexpected concession in the first half left them playing catch-up for the rest of the game.

The Bees are coming off from a crushing 1:4 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Liverpool, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Premier League title.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, The Bees’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

As we move into round 18 of this year’s Premier League, the home team are near the peak of the current standings. This match offers a good shot to build up even more points, maybe even for a shot at the title.

According to the recent head-to-head records, The Citizens already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.22 odds on a home win.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Tuesday. Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovačić will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 1.23 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
