Brentford - Manchester United predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Brentford winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Manchester United, which is made quite clear with the 3.45 odds offered for a home win result.

If everything goes according to plan and Man. Utd put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The Bees’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Fulham . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 3:1 defeat.

The Red devils performed quite well in the previous Premier League round. They took the lead early, and secured a narrow 2:1 home win. Considering most experts thought they were weaker than their opponents Chelsea, the outcome was a bit of a surprise.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Man. Utd’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

With 4 points earned so far, the home team are 17th in the standings. That’s a decent start and it puts them just 5 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot. That said, they’re not very likely to earn any points in this upcoming match.

Most bookies agree that both teams could realistically win. Manchester United’s motivation is clear - 2 points stand between them and their Europa goals. The season has only just begun, which leaves plenty of time to earn said points.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.68 odds offered at Pncl.
