Brentford vs Manchester City prediction and betting tips on January 14, 2025

Game Prediction

Brentford and Manchester City will play in the 21st round of the English Premier League on January 14, 2025. The champion is going to win in the capital, trying to improve the situation, but the hosts of the arena also have their own ambitions.
Our prediction for the match Brentford vs Manchester City
“The Bees” managed to get 39 points last season, which is less than in previous years, but still enough to take a safe 16th place. This is despite the fact that they spent most of the time without their scorer, Toney – it was not for nothing that Ivan was sold to the Middle East in the summer for a fairly good price. “The Citizens” retained the title in the Premier League and won the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Still, the club was eliminated from the Champions League, losing to Real Madrid on penalties, and finally being defeated by Manchester United in the FA Cup final.
Guardiola has real troubles in the new season. A good start after the loss of Rodri turned into a terrible period, with a misfire in the League Cup, defeats in the Champions League and an anti-record stretch in the Premier League, with 1 win and 5 points in 9 rounds of the Premier League. The team managed to come to life only by New Year, having successively won the battles against Leicester and West Ham. Speaking about the cup confrontation with Salford, the club, as expected, made a big rout – it stopped only at the 8-0 score. Thomas Frank’s footballers were among the contenders for European competition for a long time due to the strong “home” statistics. Still, then there was a failure in the League Cup and 1 point in 4 previous rounds of the Premier League. And only Southampton was beaten – 5-0. As for the cup meeting with Plymouth, they stumbled and lost with a 0-1 result.
The hosts of the arena play spectacularly. They score 1.9 goals per round, although their defence is also appropriate: they concede 1.75 on average per game. The champion’s ratio is not much better – Haaland and the company score 1.8 goals, while Emerson and Ortega’s opponents provide an average of 1.35 goals per struggle.
