Brentford hosts Manchester City in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 29th at Brentford Community Stadium (London)
In the last round, Brentford could not cope with Brighton away. The Seagulls gained a 2-0 victory. A streak of two matches without defeats has come to an end. However, Thomas Frank's charges feel quite confident. They are in 13th place in the standings with 20 points scored in 17 matches. It is important to recall that Brentford has two games in hand. The gap from the relegation zone is nine points. The Bees have already earned ten points at their native stadium. All their results on the home pitch look like this: three victories, one draw, and four defeats with a goal difference of 10-10. Four matches ended with an exchange of goals scored. The other four games ended with “Both teams to score — no.”

Manchester City arranged a real show at the Etihad Stadium in the last match against Leicester City. Let me remind you that Guardiola's charges win with a score of 6-3. Raheem Sterling scored a brace, and he is gradually gaining optimal shape. The Citizens are confidently taking first place in the standings. After 19 rounds, they have 47 points scored. The gap from the 2nd and 3rd lines is six points. The Sky Blues have won nine Premier League games in a row, conceding only six goals and scoring 30 times! Manchester City has the most reliable defense in the Premier League — only 12 goals conceded. In addition, they have one of the two best attacking lines with 50 goals scored. 22 points were earned in nine away matches (seven wins, one draw, and one defeat).
In the 21st century, Brentford and Manchester City did not play against each other. The Bees scored at least one goal against their opponents in six of the last eight home games. On average, the Citizens score 2.5 goals per match. And Brentford footballers score an average of 1.2 goals per game. With all due respect to the Bees, I don’t think they will be able to earn at least one point in the upcoming game. Still, Thomas Frank's charges can be called only the middle peasants of the Premier League. And Manchester City is currently one of the best teams in Europe. The Citizens show great results both at home and away. Moreover, now they have the opportunity to break away from the 2nd place, and therefore I have no doubt that they will manage to gain another confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap
