LiontipsManchester City vs Brentford. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (November 12, 2022).
Command Analysis
Last weekend, Manchester City defeated Fulham (2:1), despite being one man down for most of the game. Erling Haaland's spot kick in injury time sealed the deal for the reigning champions. Pep Guardiola was proud of his charges and noted that this was one the best performances by the City team since he became their manager.
That was Manchester City's third Premier League victory in a row. After 13 rounds of match, the Sky-Blues have 32 points and 39 goals. They are trailing the current leader Arsenal by two points. Earlier this week, Guardiola's side triumphed over Chelsea (2:0) in the League Cup and progressed to the next round of the competition.
Kyle Walker has a long-term injury and Joao Cancelo is suspended.
Brentford have won just one game since the beginning of September. In the last round of matches, the Bees were close to a victory over Nottingham Forest, but Jorgensen leveled the score with an owngoal in the last minute of injury time (2:2). Currently, Brentford are in 11th place in the standings with 16 points from three wins and seven draws.
The upcoming game is going to be very difficult for Thomas Frank and his charges. They have a bad record against Man City - the team lost four previous games against the Sky-Blues. Brentford's star forward Ivan Toney is allegedly being investigated for gambling on football, which is prohibited for EPL players. The team has problems on defense - in the last three games, the Bees conceded before the 25th minute.
Today the visitors will be without Ajer, Baptiste, Jansson, Hickey, Strakosha, and Goode.

Tip and bets
We do not think that Brentford can win this game. Last weekend, Man City beat Fulham with only 10 players, they are in excellent shape and are motivated to keep winning, because they are still behind Arsenal.
Our prediction — Asian handicap (-2) to Manchester City
This probably will be a one-sided game. Brentford are in poor form and haven't won since September, while the home team cruises past all of their opponents. We predict a wide-margin win for Man City.
Second bet — Manchester City to win by 3 goals
