Brentford hosts Manchester United in round 17 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 14th at Brentford Community Stadium (London)
Brentford earned extremely important three points in the last round, beating Watford with a score of 2-1. That victory became the second for the team in the last five games (two draws and only one defeat). Thomas Frank's men have settled in the middle of the standings, namely, in 10th place. They have 20 points in their piggy bank. The most important thing is that the gap from the relegation zone has increased to nine points. Now the Bees do not look like candidates for relegation. Brentford earned exactly half of its points at home. This was done due to the following results: three victories, one draw, and four defeats with a goal difference of 10-10. The Bees gained two victories in the last two home matches.

Manchester United played two matches in the Premier League under the management of Ralf Rangnick. In both of them, the team won with an identical score of 1-0. The Red Devils dealt with Crystal Palace and Norwich City. In general, they do not lose in four consecutive rounds (three victories and one draw). Such results allowed them to score 27 points and rise to the 5th line in the standings. The gap to the top four was reduced to one point. The Mancunians are performing very well on foreign pitches, and this has been going on since last season. In the last 34 away games, the Red Devils suffered only two defeats (21 wins and 11 draws). Manchester United scored 14 points in eight away games of the current season.
In seven out of eight previous games on foreign pitches, Manchester United footballers have not scored more than two goals. In the last eight matches of Brentford, the first goal was necessarily scored before the 28th minute. In the previous six games of the English Premier League, the Bees never lost in the second half (two victories and four draws). The hosts will have a hard time in the upcoming game. Still, their opponents are a very serious team, which will certainly claim not only a place in the Champions League zone but also medals. Beyond that, I will remind you that the Red Devils suffered only two defeats in their last 34 away games. It is hard to believe that Thomas Frank's charges will be able to win now. Manchester United hasn't conceded a single goal under Rangnick. Sooner or later, this streak must be interrupted. Brentford scored ten goals at home. I think the teams will exchange goals in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
