Manchester United vs. Brentford: Preview and betting tips

Wednesday’s Premier League fixtures will feature a match between Manchester United and Brentford. The favourite has a lot to return to its opponent, the Bees won surprisingly 4:0 in the autumn. What to expect this time?

Manchester United came back from the holiday break with a crazy performance, losing 0: 2 at Newcastle, but with better productivity of the opponent could easily get a five. They are fifth in the table, only a score behind fourth and third place.

Brentford, on the other hand, have benefited from an excellent second part of the season, losing only one of the last 16 rounds, drawing at Arsenal and winning at the Etihad. They are seventh in the table, but are only two points clear of ninth-placed Aston Villa in a crowded competition.

Manchester City’s key figures

Marcus Rashford is having the season of his life, the England international striker has netted 26 goals and assisted nine times. In goal, David de Gea, still the club’s number one, is making breathtaking saves in Spain.

Brentford’s key figures

The visitors stand on the productivity of Ivan Toney, the England international has opened the net on 18 occasions and assisted five times. The midfield cannot be imagined without Christian Norgaard, the defensive shield also scored once and assisted on four goals.

Manchester are on a roll at home, winning seven of their last eight games at Old Trafford. Overall, it is unbeaten at home in a long run of 23 games since September 8 last year, including triumphs over city rivals or Barcelona.

Brentford, on the other hand, is an offensive machine. With 46 league goals, it is five shots better than Manchester United, leaving even Chelsea behind. He has struck more than once in three of his last five games.

Considering Manchester’s great home strength, Rashford’s phase and the motivation after Monday’s loss to Tottenham, I think the favourite will win at Old Trafford and return to the Top 4.
