Betting on Brentford
Although their chances are slim, Brentford still have a mathematical chance of getting into the European places, but to do so, they must beat Manchester City and need that some other results go in their favor.
The Bees currently sit ninth in the standings with 56 points, two points behind Conference League-placed Aston Villa and one behind Tottenham. Therefore, in order to qualify for Europe, Brentford must not only take three points but also a Villa defeat as well as a Spurs defeat or draw.
Thomas Frank’s side are the seventh lowest-scoring team in the competition with 46 goals conceded, while at home they have just two defeats in 18 games played and were the only club to beat City at the Etihad Stadium this campaign.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): David Raya; Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee, Rico Henry; Mikkel Damsgaard, Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen; Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Kevin Schade.
Betting on Manchester City
With the Champions League and FA Cup finals just around the corner, this coming Sunday will surely see a Manchester City team being very careful with their stars after winning the championship a couple of matchdays ago.
Beyond an issue of competitiveness with the rest of the clubs, Pep Guardiola’s team has little to risk after comfortably leading the tournament with 89 points and not losing since 15 rounds ago, when they lost away to Tottenham.
The Citizens lead the Premier League in goals scored with a total of 94, an average of 2.54 per game, while they share the lead with Newcastle in the fewest goals conceded with 32. In addition, they are the second-best team playing away from home, losing only three times in 18 games, and nobody has conceded fewer goals than them in this condition, conceding just 15.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Aymeric Laporte, Sergio Gomez; Rodri, Kalvin Phillips; Riyad Mahrez, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden; Julian Alvarez.
JefeBet Prediction
If there is one thing we know for sure about Pep Guardiola’s teams, it is that they will never give away points to their rivals, and an example of this is the draw they recorded last week at Brighton, a team that was also in the hunt for European places.
That said, City will also not risk much more than they should, and Brentford should take advantage of this. The bees already know what it’s like to beat this team in full conditions and in front of their fans, with the hopes of getting into a European competition for the first time in their history, the desire to win must be more than present.
Prediction: Brentford Moneyline (BRE 2 – MAN 1).
