Brentford and Manchester United face off on Tuesday in an English Premier League showdown at the Brentford Community Stadium. When these two teams faced off in July of 2021 the two teams played to a 2-2 draw.
Manchester United currently sits in 5th place in the standing having picked up 27 points. Manchester United hasn’t been exactly dominant, but they have still won three games in a row inside the Premier League. Each of the last two games has been by a final score of 1-0 including the game Saturday against Norwich City. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal by penalty in the 75th minute. Manchester United had five shots on target and 53 percent of the possession. Manchester United has scored 26 goals and the defense has given up 24 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo has been the top player scoring seven goals and adding two assists.
On the other side of this matchup is Brentford who sits in 10th place in the standings having picked up 20 points. Over the last two games, Brentford has picked up four points. In the last game against Watford, the offense was strong, putting up two goals and that led to the 2-1 victory. Brentford has scored 21 goals while their defense has given up 22 goals. Ivan Toney has been the best player for Brentford scoring four goals and adding two assists. There are five players who have scored at least two goals.
Manchester United’s offense hasn’t been as strong as of late, and goals are going to be hard to come by again in this game. Look for Manchester United’s defense to be strong, and this game to going to stay under the total. I am also throwing a few dollars on the final score of 1-0.
