Manchester City vs Brentford: Predictions, odds & betting tips

  /  autty

Manchester City can preserve their lead at the top of the Premier League on Wednesday when they take on a Brentford side on a five-game losing streak.

Pep Guardiola's team have won nine and drawn one of their last 10 matches in all competitions and will be confident of maintaining that run this week.

The visitors, however, are looking to avoid drifting closer to the relegation zone and are hoping to spring a surprise.

At 1/10 (1.1) with bet365, Manchester City are massive favourites to win the Premier League clash.

Brentford are available at 22/1 (23.0) and the draw is priced at 17/2 (9.5).

Liam Delap is the favourite to open the scoring in the match against Brentford and is priced 7/2 (4.5). His team-mate Gabriel Jesus is the next lowest at odds of 4/1 (5.0).

Brentford forward Ivan Toney, meanwhilw, is available at 14/1 (15.0) to net the first goal.

Gabriel Jesus may not be fit enough to feature in this game, but Pep Guardiola says the rest of the team are fit.

Ederson, Aymeric Laporte, Ruben Dias and Rodri are all well rested after being left out of the FA Cup clash against Fulham.

With a near-full strength team at his disposal, Guardiola will expect a convincing win to ensure they stay well ahead of title rivals Liverpool.

Christian Eriksen started training with Brentford this week as he nears his return to the game, but he will not be part of the squad for Wednesday's clash.

Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa could be back in Thomas Frank's side after coming down with Covid-19.

Brentford have been leaking plenty of goals in their current run of defeats, while City have not failed to find the net in a match since their loss to Crystal Palace at the end of October.

Backing City to win with a -2 handicap at 5/6 (1.83) looks like a fair bet given the gulf in quality between these teams and the form they are in.
