Manchester United vs Brentford 05.04.2023

After a lackluster display at St James Park that ended in a 2-0 loss, Man United will look to reassert their authority when they take on Brentford at home in the midweek. The Red Devils have looked out of sorts since winning the Carabao Cup final, failing to score in the subsequent three league games including a 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool. That weekend loss to Newcastle saw the Toons leapfrog them into third as they dropped to 4th place barely hanging onto it.

Brentford have more than exceeded expectations in their return to the top flight. They are 7th on the log and very much in the hunt for a European football slot. They were on the verge of a massive win away at 6th-placed Brighton but conceded an injury-time penalty which McAllister converted for a share of the spoils in a 3-3 weekend thriller. Thomas Frank’s side have often raised their level of play against top-ranked sides and they will be confident coming into this match, considering the 4-0 win they got in the reverse game at the start of the season

This is a big game for both of these teams with respect to their respective goals for this season. We expect a very physical game here. The 4-0 loss from earlier in the season certainly left a bitter taste in Man United’s mouth and could certainly add more fuel to the fire here. As such we feel this game has the potential for lots of bookings. We are backing at least 4 to be dished out.
