Premier League: Brentford vs Manchester City 05/10/2025

Betting on Goals

Brentford is one of the most interesting and successful football projects of recent years. Many innovations related to the way a club operates have originated from them. This season, even though their roster appears much weaker on paper, their start in the league has been more than respectable.

With Haaland scoring relentlessly, City remained within their objectives, although they are no longer the clear favorite in all competitions. Since their away match at Monaco on Wednesday, the players have had several days to fully recover. It is the Thursday-Sunday cycle that usually causes problems.

The away win at around 1.60+ is fair but offers no real value. Brentford, even on their bad days, find goals. At their stadium they scored three against United and two against Chelsea. Defensively, however, they have issues. I considered the 2 + gg combo which is offered near 3.00, but I will reduce the risk (and expected return) by going for gg + over 2.5.
