Command Analysis
Manchester United
EnglandCurrent form
The clouds are gathering over Erik ten Hag, and the press is actively discussing his successors , including, for example, Dane Thomas Frank, the coach of today opponent. At the moment, taking into account all tournaments, Manchester United have not won in five matches in a row. Of course, four of them ended in draws, and the only defeat in this period was from Tottenham (0:3). However, these are still far from the results that the management was counting on.
In the Premier League standings, the Red Devils are approaching the start of the eighth round only in 14th place, with only eight points. Erik ten Hag team has not won in three rounds in a row - two draws and a defeat. In the last round, they failed to open Aston Villa defense on the road (0:0), although in the current reality, such a result can be considered positive.
It should be noted that they often manage to stay afloat thanks to the good play of the goalkeeper. Onana kept his goal untouched four times, which is very solid, considering Andre instability.
Disqualifications and injuries
Manchester United have a long list of injured players. Shaw, Yoro, Malasia, Mazraoui and Mainou are all certain to be out today. Mount, Diallo and Garnacho are all questionable.

- No more than three goals have been scored in Manchester United last eight Premier League games
- In the five previous Premier League games involving the Mancunians, at least one team has failed to score

Probable line-up : Onana - Dalot, de Ligt, Martinez, Evans - Eriksen, Ugarte - Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford - Hoylund.
Brentford
EnglandCurrent form
Brentford is quite expectedly among the strong mid-table Premier League teams, and occasionally puts on some bright matches. The Bees played just such a match against Wolverhampton (5:3). Then the spectators saw six goals before the break, but overall the Londoners deservedly won, and all the goals were scored by different players.
In the tournament table, https://www.brentfordfc.com/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Brentford is in 11th place after seven rounds and is two points ahead of its current opponent. It is worth noting that since the beginning of the season, the Bees have lost only to top opponents - Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City, and in these matches there were no obvious failures, they lost with a difference of one or two goals. We definitely cannot classify the current Manchester United as a top team. Of course, it is worth noting that Thomas Frank team suffered all three defeats away. They have not yet managed to score a single point away.
Brian Mbeumo stands out in the Londoners' attack. The footballer has scored in the last three matches in a row. In total, the Cameroonian has scored six goals in seven matches played in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Hiki, Dasilva, Vissa, Thiago, Henry and Nunez will not take to the field today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in eight of Brentford last nine games
- Seven of the Bees' previous nine Premier League games have seen at least three goals scored
- Brentford have committed fewer fouls than their opponents in six of their last seven games
Probable line-up : Flecken - van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Ayer - Janelt, Noergaard - Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter - Schade.

1.67Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, bookmakers give a clear advantage to the hosts, although they hardly deserve this status both in terms of play and results. In the last five matches in all tournaments, Manchester United has won only one victory. Brentford is one of those teams that can surprise, Mbeumo stands out in the attack, who can create and realize a moment due to his high individual skill. In two of the four previous face-to-face confrontations, the Londoners did not lose to the Red Devils, and in two unsuccessful matches they lost only by one goal. We offer a bet on the underdog in this pair.
Our prediction is a Brentford victory with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.68
Bet on total
We don't expect more than three goals today. Manchester United have rarely allowed themselves to lapse in defense in recent matches, Onana is good in goal. Brentford rely on reliable defense in matches against strong opponents. In addition, in the three previous face-to-face matches more than three goals were not scored.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.69
Bet on the first half
Let pay attention to the fact that Manchester United have drawn four of their previous five matches. In three cases, the strongest team could not be determined at the end of the first half. We think that today the opponents will not force the events on the field.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.65
