Manchester City take on the visitors Brentford in the postponed round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 20th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City won 5 trophies last year. In addition to the customary domestic double, they added international titles - first, the long-awaited Champions League, followed by the less prestigious but still pleasant UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Now, they aim to achieve another prestigious collection, and last week, the Englishmen began the Champions League knockout stage. They comfortably defeated Copenhagen 3-1 away, essentially killing any suspense. Meanwhile, a dip in the Premier League was replaced by a series of victories, allowing them to return to the top. However, unexpected problems arose at home against Chelsea - they barely managed a 1-1 draw.

Brentford waited patiently for the return of their main star. After a very long hiatus, the Bees returned to the elite British football division. Essentially, considering the length of the break, the London project could confidently be called a debutant. However, the unique project looked decent in the penultimate and last season. Yet, this season, there were blatantly poor results, and the relegation zone loomed closer. Thomas Frank tried to rectify things, but much depended on Toney's return. Ivan justified the hopes, scoring consistently after completing a lengthy suspension. As a result, victories against Nottingham Forest in January and Wolverhampton in February helped improve their position. However, it's certainly too early to relax; they could still end up in the eighteenth, relegation position. In the last round, they lost 1-4 to Liverpool, with the only positive being another goal from their top scorer - a typical consolation goal.
Last season, the Bees won both home and away. Only in February did the Citizens finally secure a victory. The champion must win, and they have a match against a weak opponent at home. Here, we bet on the hosts with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap.
