Brentford vs Manchester Utd tips and predictions

Premier League match offers big price for home success

A result is well within Brentford's capabilities.

The hosts go into the match having notched up 10 wins from their last 17 home games. While it will be a noteworthy result if Brentford win it might just end in heartache for Manchester Utd fans.

Brentford will need to quickly find their best stuff to have any chance. The home side is certainly in some form at home. They have scored two or more goals in 9 of their recent 16 home matches while their defensive line also deserves some props. They have only conceded an average of 0.8 goals over their last 20 games at home.

Recently Manchester Utd have conceded an average of 1.6 goals in their last 18 matches. And the home side's defenders will be looking for evidence that they don't need to prepare for mayhem. The Red Devils have not been able to rely on their play-makers lately. They've scored one or less goals in 6 of their last 8 matches.

Manchester Utd are the favoured side but things will get interesting if Brentford can put the hammer down. It isn't that obvious but the Yes BTTS bet is the hesitant side bet.

So what will actually give this home squad confidence to get the job done? It's worth reiterating their recent attacking displays. They'll need their best stuff if they have genuine ambitions to deny the visitors.
