Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Brentford are going through a bad patch and a form guide for the last ten league games has them in the relegation zone. In the overall table the Bees are only three points above the bottom three. Since being promoted two seasons ago they have rarely looked in danger of a return to the Championship but they have only won six of their 21 league games this season. Six of their last seven Premier League fixtures have been lost, the other a 3-2 home win over Nottingham Forest. Just two of their last ten league matches have been won with the other eight all seeing them beaten. 3-2 is a popular score with them at present. The last three games they've played in all competitions has ended in that scoreline with two of them being lost. There are plenty of defensive problems for Brentford at present with eight goals being conceded in their last three league and cup games. Home form has seen them win four of their 11 league games with the same number being lost. Two of the last three have seen them beaten with the opposition scoring eight times.

Now they host Manchester City who certainly need to retulrn home with three points. They dropped to third after Arsenal's win over Liverpool but will return to second if winning this match. More importantly in terms of who will win the Premier League title, they are five points behind leaders Liverpool but now with two games in hand  City have Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne back and are on a good unbeaten run at present. The Citizens have won their last eight league and cup matches with 24 goals being put past their opponents and only four conceded. Their last match saw them beat Burnley 3-1 at home extending their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six games with the last four won. On the road, City have won seven out of 11 this season in the Premier League with the last three all ending in victory.
