Brentford vs Manchester City Predictions

• Manchester City are on a six-game unbeaten run (W4, D2).
• Brentford have won just one of their last five across all competitions (D2, L2).
• City have won three of the last four meetings.

Brentford and City headline Super Sunday

Manchester City conceded a late equaliser in their midweek draw at Monaco and they will be looking to bounce back at Brentford in the late kick off on Sunday.

The Bees boast an unbeaten home record across all competitions this season under new boss Keith Andrews but that will be put to the test this weekend.

City are the clear favourites to claim a win but they offer enough value at the current prices to make a straightforward away victory appeal for our main bet.

City can end Brentford’s home run

Brentford have wins over Aston Villa and Manchester United at home this season, as well as a point against Chelsea, but a return of seven points from those three games perhaps flatters them.

The Bees needed a late leveller against Chelsea, while Villa and United have been poor in these opening stages of the campaign.

After back-to-back defeats in August, City have improved and they head to west London looking to extend a six-game unbeaten run, with four wins and two draws. Pep Guardiola are unlucky not to be seeking to extend a six-game winning run as they conceded late equalisers against both Arsenal and Monaco. Brentford overcame Manchester United 3-1 last weekend but they did needed a save from Caoimhin Kelleher to deny Bruno Fernandes that would have drawn United level late on in the second half.

City were held to a 2-2 draw at the Brentford Community Stadium last season but have a strong recent record against their hosts, winning the three previous meetings before that stalemate.

City ran out 5-1 winners over Burnley last weekend, and a similar level of performance should be enough to take maximum points at Brentford on Sunday.

Bees can strike in defeat

City have conceded a couple of cheap goals this season and have conceded in three of their last four games, with their one shut-out during that time coming in an EFL Cup win over League One’s Huddersfield.

Brentford haven’t drawn a blank in any competition this season and they’ve scored in five of the last six clashes between these two sides, so goals at both ends looks likely and a 3-1 win for the visitors has a chance in the correct score market.

The best bet for this game is an anytime strike for Erling Haaland as he is in sensational form. The Norwegian striker scored both goals against Monaco on Wednesday to extend his scoring streak to eight-games for club and country, hitting 15 goals in total during that run, and he can help fire his side to victory at Brentford.
