The Premier League action continues in midweek, as Man City look to move within a point of the top of the standings. Brentford will be the visitors to the Etihad, as they bid to upset the odds and land a second win in five league outings.

Before Betting On Man City vs Brentford

Man City’s charge for a fourth straight title in the Premier League continues in midweek, as Pep Guardiola’s side look to get back on track after playing out a draw in their previous fixture. City have still won five of their last six, but they were fortunate that a fourth defeat of the campaign wasn’t inflicted in their latest fixture against Chelsea.

Brentford are battling at the opposite end of the league standings, as the Bees sit just six points clear of the relegation spots after losing three of their last four matches. They weren’t able to bounce back to winning ways in their latest league outing, losing at home against Liverpool on Saturday.

City come into this fixture after winning six of their last eight home matches against the Bees. However, they were shockingly beaten in this fixture last term, meaning that the Bees could become just the second team in the Premier League to win in successive visits to Guardiola’s Man City following Man United in 2019-20 and 2020-21.

However, the reigning champions boast a dominant record in midweek matches after winning each of their last 12 at home, and 26 of their previous 27 played in the middle of the week. Brentford’s away form would also be a concern, as they have lost seven of their last eleven on the road, which is as many defeats as they suffered on the road throughout last season.

It appears challenging to overlook City’s obvious claims this week, as they bid to close the gap to one point at the summit. We expect the reigning champions to comfortably land maximum points, with Erling Haaland getting himself among the scorers.
