Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, Manchester City won 1-0 on the road has four wins and on draw in its last five meetings against Brentford, but only one of those four wins has been by more than one goal.
In this Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction, Manchester City is coming as -340 home favorites. With just three game weeks left both teams have something to play for, as City is still on the hunt for Arsenal and the first place, while Brentford is looking to lock its placement on the top-7 of the league. City has been in great form, having won five of its last six games, but Brentford has lost only once in its last six games and have lost by more than one goals against City only once in their last five meetings. I like City to win but not more than one goal, so take Brentford by +1.5 goals in this one.
