In the match of the 38th round of the English Premier League, Brentford and Manchester City will meet. Will the guests be able to score points and keep the chances of a European Cup zone? We'll figure it out.
Brentford
"Brentford" is currently on the ninth line in the standings, lagging behind the seventh position, which gives the right to play in the UEFA Conference League next season, by two points. Over 37 games, the team scored 56 points, won 14 victories, drew 14 times and suffered nine defeats, while hitting the opponents' goal 57 times and conceding 46 goals. In the last round, Brentford beat Tottenham 3-1 on the road.
Manchester City
Manchester City guaranteed themselves gold medals two rounds before the end of the championship. Over 37 games, the team scored 89 points, winning 28 victories, drawing five times and suffering four defeats, while hitting the opponents' goal 94 times and conceding 32 goals. On May 24, Manchester City drew 1-1 with Brighton in the postponed away match.
Statistics and figures
- Bookmakers prefer Manchester City;
- Brentford have won their last two home games;
- Manchester City have not lost away for 12 games;
- The teams have met three times in their history: two wins on account of Manchester City, and one on account of Brentford.
Forecast
I think that the match can turn out to be productive, because the home team still has a chance of getting into the European Cup zone, and the guests will probably release a semi-reserve squad, since they will soon play in the Champions League final. I propose to place two bets on the upcoming match: both teams will score and the total total of 2.5 goals is more.
