Man City vs Brentford odds and score prediction
Sky Sports’ Lewis Jones…
Manchester City can’t afford to make mistakes now.
A win is essential in every game to keep Arsenal top of the table, and you would normally expect them to shake off most of the crowd at the Etihad under so much pressure. However, some cracks have emerged that make this a little more interesting from a betting perspective.
City conceded the equivalent of 2.72 expected goals against Everton, the fifth-most in a Premier League game under Josep Guardiola and their worst defensive performance in a game since 2024. This isn’t something you see often, and it suggests the team is finding ways to seize opportunities.
Igor Thiago has been attracting attention this season by scoring 22 goals in the Premier League, the most ever by a Brazilian player in a single season, and is a candidate for the Golden Boot. More importantly, he is a key figure in all aspects of Brentford’s attack.
If Brentford create, he will be the end of it.
At 2/1, sky betting Thiago to score anytime seems like a big price to pay.
