Head-to-Head

The two teams have met just once before in the Premier League, with Manchester City winning 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium in 2021.

Prediction

Manchester City are the heavy favorites for this match, and it is difficult to see them dropping points against a Brentford side that is out of form. The Citizens have been in impressive form all season and have a number of players who can hurt Brentford, including Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Phil Foden. Brentford will need to be at their best to get something from the game, but it is likely that Manchester City will be too strong for them on this occasion. Our prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Brentford

Best Bet

Manchester City to win by three or more goals is the best bet for this match. The Citizens are in excellent form and are likely to score freely against a Brentford defense that has been struggling in recent weeks.
