Brentford vs Manchester City Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 5th October 2025

Brentford enjoy home advantage, when visitors Manchester City swing by on Sunday for a clash in the Premier League. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

Brentford are placed 13th with seven points after six matches. Manchester City occupy a position as seventh in the league on ten points.

On this coming Sunday, Manchester City aim to maintain their lead in the Premier League table on Brentford, who have a tough job ahead of them. They are up against a team favoured by the bookies to at least maintain the current gap between the sides.

The visitors scored two times on average per match, for a total of 20 goals. They also let in seven goals, leaving an average of 0.7 per match. They fought their way to five clean sheets.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 2-2 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest on Sunday.

Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction

Brentford Form

Their last three matches saw Brentford drawing 1-1 with Aston Villa, losing 3-1 against Fulham before beating Manchester United by 3-1. Brentford won four of their last six Premier League matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded 11 and scored 16 goals.

Brentford had their sights set on the Premier League title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Manchester City Form

In their three most recent outings, Manchester City won 0-2 and 5-1 against Huddersfield and Burnley, before drawing 2-2 against Monaco. Manchester City managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Premier League away matches, in which they scored ten while also conceding three times. They also experienced two draws and one defeat.

Ambitions are high for The Sky Blues, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

Bookmakers have Manchester City down as rather big favourites for the win against Brentford. While the hosts will obviously come out fighting, we still think the visitors will prevail in the end.

Brentford have a record of two wins, one draw and three defeats in the Premier League this season. Manchester City have a record of three wins, one draw and two defeats in the Premier League.
