Manchester United vs Brentford Predictions

• Manchester United have won five of their last six home games.
• Brentford are winless in their last six fixtures.

Red Devils primed for Champions League return

A narrow victory at Stamford Bridge last time out leaves Manchester United in prime position for the Premier League bronze medal, and they can enhance their Champions League qualification prospects against Brentford on Monday.

The Red Devils now have an eight-point cushion inside the top five and have won five of their last six home fixtures, with their shock loss to Leeds earlier this month their only home league loss since Michael Carrick took charge.

Bees struggling for wins

Sitting ninth and only a point off European qualification and seven adrift of the top five, Brentford still have plenty to play for, but they have found victories hard to come by of late and may come unstuck at Old Trafford.

The Bees have drawn their last six games in all competitions and their only away wins since early February have come against Macclesfield and the now-relegated Burnley.

Casemiro can contribute to home win

Backing Manchester United to get the win looks solid value, but they have only kept two clean sheets in their last eight at home, so expect Brentford to find the net. The hosts have scored twice in three of their last six at Old Trafford, making a 2-1 correct score prediction an appealing option.

Casemiro also looks a high-value option to get on the scoresheet. The Brazilian midfielder is enjoying the most prolific season of his storied career and has scored in three of his last five appearances for the club.
