Brentford – Manchester City odds | 3 top tips
Betting odds as of February 2nd, 2024, 12:22
The last team to achieve this feat was Liverpool. The “Reds” even defeated City four times in a row between March 2015 and December 2016. In the showdown on Monday evening between Brentford and Manchester City, the forecast is for Ivan Toney to score for the hosts.
Brentford – Statistics & current form
Brentford has to be careful: after four defeats in the last five league games, the relegation zone is now only four points away. One drawback is the weak defense. The ninth-place finisher in the Premier League has been waiting for a clean sheet for eleven rounds of games.
The difficulties in the defense network have recently increased again. This can be seen from the fact that coach Thomas Frank’s team has always conceded at least two goals in the last five league games.
More than two goals conceded for the “Bees”?
Since the best offensive in the Premier League is now also arriving, it is also possible to predict more than two goals from the guests in the duel between Brentford and Manchester City. Quotes for additional predictions are available at Interwetten. The bookmaker also offers a varied range of sports bets and offers mobile betting slips via the Interwetten app.
Furthermore, the Londoners are not good at managing a lead. The three-time winner of the Football League Trophy has already given up 23 points after leading for a while – the highest in the league! But at least the offensive is reliable against its own backdrop. In the 0-1 home defeat against Arsenal, the home team was denied a goal of their own.
From their point of view, what is not very helpful is that the defense is generally not good at home either. Because of this combination, goals on both sides are almost the norm in the Bees’ home games – only two of the eleven domestic league games did not end in this way.
Top goal getter Toney is finally back!
It is pleasing for the hosts that Ivan Toney is back on board for the first time this season in two games. The 27-year-old has been the… Clippers from duty with the home team.
He scored no fewer than 65 goals during this review! In addition, Toney finished third in the Premier League top scorers rankings last season behind Harry Kane and Erling Haaland with 20 goals this season.

Manchester City – Statistics & current form
Like their opponents, Manchester also has a very important returnee in their ranks. We are of course talking about Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian has been available again for four games after a long, serious injury and has once again proven that he is not rusty.
Three assists and one goal clearly show this. The yield is particularly impressive given that the majority of KDB only played short missions. For Erling Haaland, the next opponent is not a good place.
The Norwegian striker has played against 21 different clubs in the Premier League so far Not yet scored against the Londoners alone! At least he can now play again. Against Burnley, the ex-Borussia player returned to the squad after a ten-game injury break, although only for a short 20-minute appearance.
“We are of course happy that the team is now complete again. That’s important for what’s to come.”
Álvarez is the new Haaland
Julián Álvarez currently has no problem scoring goals. The Argentine scored twice in five of his last seven competitive games and in the 3-1 win against Burnley last matchday. In view of this, tips and betting odds for another goal by the 24-year-old are also worth considering in the match between Brentford and Manchester City.
However, a permanent construction site within coach Pep Guardiola’s team is the defense. This season it is unusually shaky. City conceded 1.14 goals this season. For comparison: In last year’s championship season there were only 0.86 goals conceded per league game.

Betting base forecast & Brentford – Manchester City Tip
The forecast for the meeting between Brentford and Manchester City includes: Goal by Ivan Toney. The striker has recently served his mega ban and celebrated his season debut on the penultimate matchday against Nottingham.
