Prediction and betting tips
Manchester United have been more consistent overall this season and will carry confidence from their recent win over Chelsea. Playing at Old Trafford gives them an added advantage against a Brentford side that has struggled to turn draws into wins.
However, Brentford’s resilience means they are unlikely to make things easy.
We tip a Home Win (1) as the most likely outcome.
Another solid option is Both Teams to Score (YES) given both sides’ scoring trends.
- Home Win (1) with odds of 1.76 on 1xbet.
- Both Teams to Score (YES) with odds of 1.53 on 1xbet.
