Brentford vs Manchester City prediction 05.02.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 5th February 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Gtech Community Stadium

On Monday, Manchester City will travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford, aiming to maintain their chances of defending their Premier League title.

The hosts concluded the 2023 year disappointingly, with losses in their last five league matches. However, the return of Ivan Toney more than ten days ago has greatly uplifted their spirits. Thomas Frank’s team managed to defeat Nottm Forest in a comeback victory two weeks ago and nearly secured a point against Spurs. The Bees also have a commendable record against City, with victories in their two most recent meetings, which gives them confidence in potentially securing a win in Monday’s game.

Meanwhile, Manchester City typically start their campaigns slowly, gaining momentum as the season progresses. Currently, the Citizens trail Liverpool by five points, albeit with a game in hand. Their recent form has been commendable, with a winning streak of eight games from their last eight matches. The potential inclusion of both Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland in a league game for the first time in approximately six months puts Manchester City in a favourable position going into this game.

Brentford vs Manchester City Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Recent weeks have seen Brentford’s games filled with ample entertainment. Out of the Bees’ previous ten matches in all competitions, only two have witnessed less than 2.5 goals. Furthermore, both teams have managed to score in each of their last six games.

When it comes to scoring goals, Manchester City not only has the ability to do so, but they can also score in large quantities.
