For the 16th matchday of the English Super League, Manchester City welcomes Brentford to the Etihad Stadium.
It was a sweat but in the end City managed to win last week at Manchester Fulham 2-1. He came into the match strongly and in the 16th minute he opened the score, but there was a phase in the 28th minute where he was left with one less player and conceded the equalizer with a penalty, making the match a derby. Despite the numerical disadvantage, it was the team that looked for the second goal, pressed and created opportunities to justify itself in the delay of the match with a well-executed penalty kick.
So Pep Guardiola's team achieved their 3rd consecutive victory in the league, reached 32 points remaining in 2nd place and minus 2 from the first Arsenal.
Midweek, City beat Chelsea 2-0 for the League Cup and qualified for the next phase of the competition.
After an exciting ongoing match, Brentford came away with a draw (2-2) the previous matchday at home to Nottingham Forest. He found himself back on the scoreboard in the 20th minute, but with a goal late in the first half and another in the 75th minute, he turned the tide. He came close to the three-pointer, but in the last minute of stoppage time, he conceded the equalizer with an own goal and was limited to a draw.
With this score, he reached 16 and with a record of 3 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, he is in 11th place in the Premier League.
On Wednesday, Brentford were surprised to be beaten 6-5 on penalties (1-1 regular time) by Gillingham in the League Cup and knocked out.
City is a logical favorite as it wants in the last match before the break for the World Cup to get the three points in the battle for the title. It is a given that the outcome of the match will depend on her, I expect her to come on strong from the start of the match to clean up the three points against a Brentford team that concedes goals with great ease.
Tip: Manchester City – Brentford 1 & Over 3,5 with odds of 2.00
