The battle for the top spots continues for Brentford this Monday, as they travel to Old Trafford, where they'll face Manchester United in a bid to gain at least one point, which would be enough to rank them in the top seven for now. A smart move at the available odds would be for the visiting team to score more than one goal.
The Red Devils seem to perform better in situations where they are the outsiders, in bigger games where they haven’t as much pressure on them, such as their wins against City, Arsenal and Chelsea. In other types of games, though, where they are expected to do well, they seem to struggle or buckle under the pressure, especially defensively.
The examples being their last game on home soil being a 1-2 loss to Leeds, as well as conceding two against Fulham and Burnley, conceding four against Bournemouth, all on home soil. Recently, they lost 2-1 at Newcastle and tied 2-2 at Bournemouth. It’s clear they get caught out on the break lots in games of this nature.

Our Manchester United vs Brentford Prediction
Realistically, the motivation is pretty much all with Brentford, as United are sitting comfortably in the UCL rankings. Tying all of their last five EPL meetings, The Bees will be on the charge, with the knowledge that they’re closer to European football than they’ve ever been spurring them on.
Whilst United have done well in some games against the big dogs, we've regularly seen them slip in games where they have more expectations on them. A big source of Brentford’s goals is the break - the most in the whole EPL - and that’s positive given how weak the hosts have been on the counter in similar games, plus most of their away goals come from open play. This was where two out of three goals originated in the reverse fixture - from long shots outside the box.
Our Manchester United vs Brentford Pick: Brentford to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
