Manchester United vs Brentford Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
With the international break now out of the way, Premier League football is set to return this weekend, and on Saturday, we head to Old Trafford to see Manchester United take on Brentford. The Red Devils resume the season in 14th place with eight points, while the Bees are 11th with 10 points after seven games. Check out our match prediction below!
Man United have a solid record in this fixture, winning each of their last five home games against Brentford and outscoring them 13-2 during that period. The last encounter between these two came in March this year and ended 1-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium, while the reverse fixture at this venue ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts.
Despite their wretched form ahead of the international break, United are currently the clear favourites to win this match. However, the Bees have made a habit of starting matches incredibly well and an early goal here could unsettle the stuttering Red Devils. Let’s get into the key stats.

Manchester United - Brentford: Form Analysis
The 2024-25 Premier League season has so far been a disaster for Manchester United, who enter gameweek eight of the campaign with just two league wins under their belts.
Those victories came against Fulham and newly promoted Southampton either side of defeats to Brighton and Liverpool. Since beating the Saints, the Red Devils have played out two draws and a loss in their last three games.
United have played three home games this season and have won one and lost the last two, conceding three goals in each of those defeats.
Man United have not gone four league games without a goal since 1989!
Meanwhile, Brentford played out an eight-goal thriller against Wolves ahead of the international break, and came away with a 5-3 victory in a match which saw six goals scored in the first 45.
Notably, the Bees kept up their incredible record of scoring early, with Nathan Collins netting in the second minute. That was the fourth league game in succession that the side has scored inside the first two minutes of play.
While the visitors have been in fine goal-scoring form, their major issue has been at the other end of the field.
Brentford have not kept a clean sheet this term and their 13 goals conceded is the most of any of the top 15 sides in the league standings.

Manchester United & Brentford Squad Analysis
Erik ten Hag is under major pressure to end his side’s five-match winless streak across all competitions, but he is also facing a serious selection issue ahead of this weekend’s clash.
In defence, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are both still several weeks away from returning from injury, while Noussair Mazraoui is now set for a stint on the sideline after undergoing a heart procedure.
Kobbie Mainoo pulled out of England’s squad with a hamstring issue, Amad Diallo withdrew from Ivory Coast’s team with illness, and Alejandro Garnacho missed Argentina’s matches owing to knee problems.
Manuel Ugarte was forced off with a thigh injury while playing for Uruguay against Ecuador!
Other absentees for United include Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro, while Mason Mount only just returned to training following a hard injury.
Meanwhile, Brentford also have a lengthy casualty list which includes long-term absentees Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva and Igor Thiago.
Yoane Wissa (ankle) and Rico Henry (muscle) are only expected to return in November, while Paris Maghoma and Gustavo Nunes are out with an ankle and back injury respectively.

Our Manchester United vs Brentford Prediction
While Manchester United’s performances have been way below expectations this season, the international break may have come at just the right time for them.
The pressure is firmly on the Red Devils to deliver here, and Brentford are perhaps one of the best opponents they could have asked for given the Bees’ poor defensive record.
However, the visitors have countered their leaky defence with solid attacking numbers, and they will certainly fancy their chances here against a Man United squad low on confidence. Our Manchester United vs Brentford prediction: Over 2.5!
