Let's evaluate the motivation and current form of the opponents before the head-to-head meeting and choose the most reliable option for Brentford vs Manchester United tips.
Brentford Preview
The Bees have won just one in their last nine premier league matches (2-0 over Woverhampton) and have fallen to the bottom of the table. After 29 matches, the team has 17 defeats; only Burnley and Sheffield United (20 each), who are already back in the Championship, are performing worse. It was Burnley to whom Brentford lost in the last match before the international break (1:2). But speaking about the unsuccessful series of the Thomas Frank team, it should be noted that the recent unsuccessful period included matches against all the leaders - Manchester City (0:1), Liverpool (1:4) and Arsenal (1:2). Brentford will definitely have a simpler ending to the championship, so the Bees still have a good chance of moving closer to the middle of the table.
Manchester United Preview
The Red Devils went into the international break in a good mood: in a real thriller in the FA Cup quarter-finals, they managed to come back twice against their arch-rivals Liverpool and eventually knock them out of the tournament. The decisive goal was scored in the 120th minute by Amad Diallo. The Erik ten Haag team played their last match in the Premier League on March 9, and then achieved a home victory over Everton (2:0).
Manchester United have squad problems ahead of their visit to Brentford. It is unclear whether key players Harry Maguire, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez will be able to play on Saturday. In addition, the participation of Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial and Tyrell Malacia in the match is completely excluded.
Brentford vs Manchester United Betting Tips
In five head to head meetings, Brentford managed to defeat their opponent only once - 4:0 in August 2022. On the other four occasions, Man United dominated, with a total of 9:2 goals scored and conceded in the winning matches.
After international breaks, club championships often bring surprises - often the favorites lose to weaker opponents due to the fact that the leaders returned to the clubs in not the best physical or moral condition. But despite this factor, we believe that Manchester United, motivated by the fight for European competition, will be able to score three points away. It is likely that the Brentford crisis will end soon, but it is unlikely to happen this coming weekend. As a Brentford vs Manchester United prediction, we recommend betting on the success of the guests for fairly favorable odds. Our tip for this game: Manchester United to win at 2.20.
