BRENTFORD
Brentford are currently 15th on the log with 1 win and 6 losses in their last 7 starts. They were beaten 3-2 at home by Tottenham last week, a game where they led 1-0 at half-time only to concede 3 goals within 8 minutes shortly after the break to the home team.
Brentford did win their last home game a 3-2 victory over Nottingham and goals have been flowing in Brentford games with over 3.5 goal backers collecting profits in their last 4 matches and over 2.5 goal backers in 6 of their last 7.
MANCHESTER CITY
Manchester City are 3rd on the log, 5 points behind Liverpool, but with two games in hand. They have won 5 and drawn 1 of their last 6 games and they have won their last 4 in succession. Last time out they beat Burnley 3-1 at home and prior to that beat Newcastle 3-2 on the road.
Goals have also been flowing freely in Manchester City games and 4 of their last 5 games have reached at least the 4 goal mark.
Manchester City have the best away record in the English Premier League with 22 points from a possible 33.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides haven’t met in the English Premier League this season, but last season Brentford stunned Manchester City, doing the double over them when they beat them 1-0 at home and 2-1 on the road.
The season before it was City who won 2-0 at home and 1-0 away from home and 3 of their last 4 head-to-heads have resulted in over 2.5 goal backers having to tear up their tickets.

Brentford 13/2
Draw 9/2
Manchester City 4/10
It is hard to see Brentford getting anything out of this game given City’s recent form and their own struggles and in situations like this I usually turn to the goals markets.
Bookmakers are taking no chances on over 2.5 goals which is priced at 8/15, but given the stats mentioned above on both Brentford and Manchester City’s recent matches, I am quite happy to grab the 13/10 that we get 4 goals or more in the match.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 13/10
That will be my interest for the night, but there are plenty of other betting options for punters to get stuck in to. The Correct Score Market is always a good one if you are looking for a speculative play at a nice price and Manchester City to Win 3-1 is currently trading at 9/1.
The first and anytime Goal Scorer Markets are always popular and Erling Haaland is 27/10 favourite to find the back of the net first and you can get 21/10 about Bernardo Silva finding the net at any time.
