Manchester City vs Brentford prediction 20.02.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 20th February 2024
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
• Venue: Etihad

Manchester City will be aiming to increase the pressure on league leaders Liverpool by securing a win when they welcome Brentford on Tuesday night.

Last weekend, the hosts were on track to secure their 12th consecutive victory across all competitions while hosting Chelsea. However, a 1:1 draw resulted in a point split. Pep’s team has now fallen to third place, trailing four points behind Liverpool, the leading team. The upcoming Tuesday match against Brentford, a team facing potential relegation, might prove challenging.

Brentford currently holds a position just three spots above relegation and has only secured two victories from their last twelve matches in all competitions. The prolonged suspension of Ivan Toney and injuries have undeniably played a part in the Bees’ downturn. However, the supporters are unconcerned about the reasons, as their primary desire is to see their team maintain its Premier League status in the upcoming season.

Manchester City vs Brentford Betting Tips: City & Over 2.5 goals

The Premier League title hangs in the balance and, given City’s strong performance at home, anything other than a home victory would be a shock. However, the team managed by Pep has been conceding goals quite often recently. Despite boasting only two clean sheets in their last seven games across all competitions, an average of three goals per game were observed during this period.

Brentford has had a difficult season with wins being infrequent, however, goals have not been. The Bees have managed to score at least one goal in each of their past ten games across all competitions, and I anticipate this trend will carry on here. In eight of these matches, the final score exceeded 2.5 goals.

• Best Tips: Over 2.5 goals
