Manchester United vs. Brentford: Preview and betting tips

Monday’s football programme will be spiced up by Manchester United’s match with Brentford. The home team wants to stay in the top 5, the visitors are fighting for the first half of the table. What to expect from the match?

Manchester United are in terrible form, winning only one of their last seven games, dropping out of the Champions League and the fight for the top 4. The biggest target now is fifth place, which the Red Devils are six points behind, but Tottenham have a game in hand.

Brentford, on the other hand, have picked themselves up with the arrival of Christian Eriksen, gaining ten points from the last four rounds and the fight for relegation is not on their minds. A realistic target could end up being the top half of the table, which they are just three points behind.

Although he hasn’t played nearly all the games, Cristiano Ronaldo boasts a fabulous record of 23+3 through all competitions. David de Gea is also keeping the Manchester side afloat with his interventions, which have secured countless points.

The visitors are again led by goalscorer Ivan Toney, the English striker has scored fourteen times and assisted five goals. The aforementioned Eriksen, who scored one goal and had two assists, also had an impressive performance.

Manchester United have been struggling offensively in each of their last seven games, scoring just six goals.

Brentford, on the other hand, is on fire, scoring at least two goals in five of the last seven rounds, and even four goals against Chelsea.

Considering Ronaldo’s form in the last four rounds, one can expect that if Manchester United win, it will be on his merit. That’s also why the bet on him to come through is very tempting.
