Match Overview
Brentford host Manchester City at the Community Stadium in London in a match in the Premier League on Monday. The visiting side will attract a lot of crowd to this game, as they always do, but Brentford need to make sure that they hold their own and keep their shape against them. It will not serve anyone well if Brentford give up too soon.
Key Highlights
The home team have not been at their best in front of goal and are ranked 10 in goals scored per match (1.5 goals). What most fans remember is that Brentford have won the previous 2 matches against Manchester City. However, what will worry them too a lot is that they haven't kept a clean sheet in 13 matches. City will take this and use it to their advantage.
Injury Report
For Brentford, Rico Henry and Kevin Schade are among the players who have been ruled out with injuries. For Manchester City, Manuel Akanji is a doubtful starter owing to a knock he sustained earlier.
Prediction
We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Manchester City, who are ranked 1st in goals scored per match (2.4 goals), are also ranked 2nd away from home this season. Their star player Erling Haaland is the competition's top scorer (14), and this will give them much-needed confidence ahead of facing Brentford, who have taken the mickey out of them in recent times.
