Brentford vs. Manchester City odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Brentford vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Brentford (14 wins, 9 losses 14 draws) welcomes Manchester City (28-4-5) to Gtech Community Stadium Sunday. Kickoff for this regular-season finale is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brentford vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Unlike last season, Brentford’s offense has been the more notable strength for this team. The Bees, who sit 9th on the EPL table, have averaged 1.54 goals per game and allowed 1.24 this season. They are coming off a 3-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and have won 4 of their last 5. F Ivan Toney leads the Bees with 20 goals, but he will be unavailable due to an 8-month suspension for a gambling addiction.

Man City, on the other hand, has already won the league, surging over the last few months, going 14-0-2. City is 11-3-4 on the road this season and is coming off a 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion. City is led by F Erling Haaland, who has a team-best 36 goals in 35 matches. City, which hasn’t lost since Feb. 5, leads the EPL with 2.54 goals per game this season.

Brentford vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Brentford 2, Manchester City 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+290).

Brentford has been on fire as of late, scoring 9 goals in its last 5 matches. The Bees have been able to come out on top consistently as well. They have lost just 2 games at home this season, making it a fortress for the 9th-place side.

While City is the better team, it may be resting Haaland with the Champions League title game and FA Cup title on deck. Considering City doesn’t need this game to reign supreme, it may not put its best foot forward. City has been within an expected goal of its opponent in 3 straight games as well.

With that in mind, it still is the better side and has a deep roster, but for the value, sprinkle a small wager on DRAW (+290).

Over/Under (O/U)

You can bet OVER 2.5 (-175) with the heavy juice, but I prefer the alternate line of OVER 3.5 (+140).

Simply put, Brentford has struggled to defend and has scored at will while Man City has the best attack in the EPL. City has scored 3 or more goals in 6 of its last 10 games and conceded a goal in 7 of those 10 as well.

As for Brentford, it has a surging attack, scoring multiple goals in 4 of its last 5 matches. It has allowed a goal in 8 of its last 10, too. Both sides have a strong attack, and even without Toney, Brentford has been able to find the back of the net.

TAKE OVER 3.5 (+140).

Manchester United vs. Brentford odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Manchester United vs. Brentford odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester United (15 wins, 7 losses, 5 draws) welcomes Brentford (10-5-13) to Old Trafford Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester United vs. Brentford odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United has been one of the EPL’s best home teams this season, posting a 9-1-3 record at home. However, they lost 2-0 on Sunday to Newcastle and have been struggling of late, posting a 0-2-1 record in their last 3 league games. They are led by star F Marcus Rashford, who has scored 14 goals in 27 games this season.

Brentford beat Man U 4-0 last Aug. 13. They are just 3-4-7 on the road this season though. In total, they have scored 46 goals and allowed 37, sitting in 7th place in the league. Brentford has drawn 4 of their last 7 matches and is 1-1-1 in their last 3 road games. They are led by F Ivan Toney, who has 17 goals in 26 starts.

Manchester United vs. Brentford picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester United 1, Brentford 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+310).

Man U is set to have many key players sidelined. M Casemiro will still be suspended. M Christian Eriksen is out, and M Anthony Martial is doubtful. That’s going to be quite a bit to overcome, especially having not played at the top of their game lately.

In their last 3 league matches, Man U has had 2 fewer expected goals twice and even had fewer in their 0-0 draw with Southampton as well. They cannot be trusted to get a result. Meanwhile, Brentford has drawn 5 of their last 10 league games.

Given their ability to keep games close with top opponents like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, back the DRAW (+310) as they should be able to make this a close battle.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).

Brentford is not an attack-heavy side. They have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 matches and Under in 5 of their last 7. They are allowing just 1.32 goals per game as well.

Man U has gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games throughout all competitions as well. They have gone Under in 2 of their last 3 league matches.

Without 2 key attacking midfielders, they may struggle to produce. In their last 3 EPL games, Man U hasn’t had more than one expected goal and hasn’t scored in league play since Feb. 19. Ultimately, take the UNDER 2.5 (+105), especially considering the plus-money value.

Brighton vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Brighton vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Liverpool (19 wins, 2 losses, 6 draws) visits Falmer Stadium Saturday to take on Brighton (7-8-12). Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Brighton vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool is coming into this matchup following a midweek Champions League loss to Inter. However, Liverpool advanced 2-1 on aggregate despite losing 1-0. As for its last EPL showing, it beat West Ham 1-0 and has won 7 straight.

Liverpool sits in second place, 6 points behind Manchester City, and has 71 goals on the season, the most in the EPL. It has allowed the third-fewest goals as well at just 20.

Brighton, which started off the season surprisingly strong, has lost 4 in a row yet has still given up just 32 goals in 27 matches, tied for sixth-fewest in league play. It has scored just 26 goals though.

Brighton and Liverpool tied 2-2 last time they met, back in October. Brighton also has 2 draws in its two matches against third-place Chelsea this season.

  • Money line: Brighton +550 (bet $100 to win $550) | Liverpool -210 (bet $210 to win $100) | Draw +360
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -140 | U: +115)

[tipico]

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Brighton 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

I like Liverpool to win, especially given the form of both teams, and the Reds do have 8 wins in 13 road matches this season. However, having drawn Brighton earlier this season, a -210 money line is a bit too pricey.

I do like BOTH TEAMS NOT TO SCORE at -117.

Brighton has scored just 2 goals in its last four home games. Against a top-tier defense like Liverpool, that trend is worrisome. Brighton averages under a goal per game and is taking on a terrific Liverpool defense.

Brighton has been held scoreless 9 times this season, while it has held its opponent scoreless 9 times (7 times in EPL action and 2 times in the EFL Cup).

It also has a competent defense that could have a good showing against what should be a tired Liverpool side.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN to the UNDER 2.5 (+115).

Liverpool’s offense has been dynamic this season, but F Roberto Firmino is doubtful per whoscored.com. M Thiago and star D Virgil van Dijk are both also listed as doubtful.

Those 3 have contributed 8 goals for Liverpool this season.

Liverpool has gone Under 2.5 goals in 3 of its last 5 EPL games, having only topped that in a 3-1 victory over Norwich and a 6-0 win over Leeds. Brighton’s defense is far better than either of those bottom-tier opponents.

Brighton has gone Under 2.5 goals in 6 of its last 8 EPL games as well. At plus-money value, it’s the best bet in this game.

Brentford vs. Liverpool odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Brentford vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In an action-packed EPL Saturday, Liverpool (4 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) will travel to take on Brentford (2-1-2). The match is slated to kick off at 12:30 p.m. ET at Brentford Community Stadium. Below, we preview the Brentford vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Brentford has impressed so far this season. Its only loss was against fourth-place Brighton and it drew Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Brentford defeated Wolverhampton and a deflated Arsenal, both by a 2-0 count.

Liverpool is tied for first in the EPL and has not gotten three points in a match only once, a 1-1 draw with Chelsea Aug. 28. Liverpool has given up just 1 goal on the season. D Virgil van Dijk, arguably the best defender in the world, anchors the backline.

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Brentford 0

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line wager.

Why? Well, on the road, betting on Liverpool is just too steep. It has played an almost flawless schedule so far, but three of its four wins were against teams within the bottom five of the table.

ONE TEAM TO NOT SCORE can be had at -125, and it’s basically a bet on Liverpool’s defense, which is much more exciting of a value than -210 for the win. Liverpool has given up just 1 goal while Brentford has given up 2.

Overall, this is a great bet as this should be a defensive-minded match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+100) as the best value in this match. As noted, Brentford has given up just 2 goals on the season and has scored 5, scoring just 1 goal in two matches against top-10 clubs.

Against a lethal Liverpool attack, Brentford should be able to hold up reasonably well, giving up just 1 goal to each Brighton and Aston Villa.

Crazy enough, Under 2.5 goals would have hit in every Brentford match so far this season. Despite a talented attack, it still would’ve hit in two of five games for Liverpool.

Given how this game should play out, the Under is the better bet on the total.
