Brentford vs Bristol City Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Brentford have been the league’s real entertainers over the past couple of months and have been involved in a number of thrilling contests. With Bristol City having scored 4 themselves last time out, this has the potential to be another open game with chances and goals at both ends.

Bristol City had a dreadful winter but the board resisted calls for boss Lee Johnson to be sacked and finally they appear to have been vindicated in that call. 8 points from 4 games in March and particularly that stunning 4-0 win over promotion hopefuls Huddersfield last time out has lifted some of the gloom around Ashton Gate but they do still only have a one point advantage on the drop-zone and there is plenty of work to be done.

The Robins have also been involved in some high-scoring games this term, particularly away. 68% of their away games have featured over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in 63% of those matches. Their main goal threat all season has been young striker Tammy Abraham. He was on target in that big win last time out and with 19 league goals for the season, 38% of Bristol City’s total, backing Abraham to score anytime at 21/20 could be worth a punt here.

Brentford were also involved in a remarkable match just before the international break. They were 3-1 down at Burton following the opening 45 minutes but came roaring back to win 5-3. 14 of their last 16 games have featured over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in 9 of their last 10, so Bees fans have been getting plenty of value for money of late.

They are in a safe mid-table position so Brentford have no reason to switch to a more cautious approach, as they’ve been getting a lot of results playing in this attacking style and that should lead to another open game here. Therefore, backing Over 2.5 & Both Teams to Score at 10/11 looks to offer value.
