Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bruno Fernandes Anytime Assist | 23/10 @ Betfred (30.3%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Bruno Fernandes has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season and is firmly in the running for the PFA Player of the Year. The Manchester United man is also in with a shout of breaking the Premier League assist record. Fernandes now sits on 18 assists this season, with six in his last six matches. This bet has landed in 10 of his last 13 and looks impossible to stay away from yet again on Monday. |
| Under 2.5 Goals | 7/5 @ AkBets (41.7%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | This price looks too big in the under 2.5 goals market. Three of Brentford’s last five matches have finished goalless, while 52% of their matches throughout the season have featured under three goals. Four of their five away games against teams above them in the table have seen this bet land, and all things considered, this price looks too big. |

How both teams go into Manchester United vs Brentford
Michael Carrick’s men recorded their first victory in three league matches as they managed a 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Matheus Cunha scored the only goal of the game just before half-time, which leaves United on 58 points in third position prior to the weekend’s fixtures. With Liverpool at home next Sunday, picking up three points here would be crucial as they look to take a step towards Champions League qualification.
It’s been a frustrating time for Brentford in the last month or so, with five consecutive draws in the Premier League. Even if just a couple of those had victories, the Bees would be in the hunt for a Champions League spot. However, they still remain just two points behind Brighton in sixth, prior to this weekend’s top-flight matches.

Conclusion
Both teams still have plenty to play for this season, but we are expecting a low-scoring contest at Old Trafford on Monday. Under 2.5 goals, looks potentially overpriced at 7/5, while punters should keep backing Bruno Fernandes to provide an assist after he has done so in 10 of his last 13 league outings.
