Manchester United vs Brentford prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 19, 2024
In the eighth round of the English Premier League, Manchester United will host Brentford at Old Trafford. Here is the expert prediction for this match from the Dailysports team.
Manchester United
Erik ten Hag's side continues to hit new lows, showcasing one of their worst season starts in recent years. In the Europa League, United barely salvaged a 3-3 draw against Porto, and earlier, they were unable to overcome Twente in a 1-1 stalemate.
In their most recent Premier League match, the Red Devils were once again underwhelming, playing out a goalless draw away at Aston Villa. The match at Villa Park was devoid of entertainment and goals. With just eight points, Manchester United currently sits in 14th place in the Premier League table.
Brentford
In the last Premier League round before the international break, Brentford hosted Wolverhampton in what turned out to be the most thrilling game of the seventh round, producing eight goals. Thomas Frank's side was more clinical and emerged victorious with a 5-3 win.
After seven matches, the Bees have accumulated 10 points, positioning them 11th in the Premier League standings. However, in their three away matches this season, Brentford has failed to pick up any points, suffering defeats to Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham.
