Manchester City look to return to winning ways as they visit the Brentford Community Stadium on Sunday, aiming to stretch their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions.
City chasing consistency
Pep Guardiola’s men were pegged back by a late equaliser at Monaco in midweek, but their overall form remains strong. Four wins and two draws from their last six outings underline City’s growing rhythm, and they’ll fancy their chances against a Brentford side still finding its feet under Keith Andrews.
The Bees have impressed at home this season, taking points from Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Manchester United, but they’ve also shown vulnerability. Their defensive structure can be exposed by quality opposition, and City’s movement and pace in attack are a serious step up.
Prediction 1: Manchester City to win – 8/13
➡️ Back City to win – Guardiola’s side have won three of the last four meetings, and their away record suggests they can end Brentford’s unbeaten home streak.
Haaland in lethal form
Erling Haaland’s brace against Monaco took him to 15 goals in his last eight games for club and country. Brentford’s centre-backs will have their hands full with the Norwegian’s physical presence and intelligent positioning.
Prediction 2: Haaland to score anytime – 8/11
➡️ Bet on Haaland to score
Bees can still sting
Brentford have scored in every competitive match this season and in five of their last six against City. With the visitors occasionally shaky at the back, a consolation goal looks likely.
Prediction 3: Correct score 3-1 Manchester City – 12/1
➡️ Try a 3-1 scoreline
City should prove too strong overall, but Brentford’s attacking intent means goals at both ends look the best angle for punters.
