Manchester United vs. Brentford: Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

Manchester United will endeavor to resume their winning streak when they face Brentford in the eighth round of the Premier League, following a goalless draw with Aston Villa before the international break. The Red Devils are determined to conclude their five-game winless streak in all competitions, and this is their best opportunity to regain their footing. While Mason Mount has recovered from his injury, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are both considered significant doubts.

In contrast, the Bees performed impressively in a 5-3 victory over Wolverhampton. However, given their struggles on the road, we are inclined to place our wagers on Erik ten Hag's team this time. Manchester United defeated Brentford with a score of 2-1 during their most recent meeting at "Old Trafford." Yoane Wissa and Igor Thiago, the attacking tandem, are both injured for the visiting team, as is midfielder Josh Dasilva. Mathias Jensen is a significant uncertainty.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

On paper, United's 0-0 stalemate at Aston Villa on Sunday was a commendable outcome against a formidable opponent. Nevertheless, it was merely another unfavorable outcome in the context of their disastrous season-opening performance. The Red Devils are currently in 14th place, just five points from the relegation zone, and have failed to score in their last three Premier League matches. Erik ten Hag is currently engaged in a battle to preserve his employment, and a loss in this instance would be catastrophic.

Brentford achieved 11th place in the rankings by winning a thrilling match against Wolves 5-3 just before the international break. Thomas Frank's team has developed a preference for striking early in recent matches. They have the potential to swiftly sway the Old Trafford crowd against Manchester United if they can replicate this feat.
