Brentford FC vs Manchester United FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Brentford welcomes Manchester United to the Gtech Community Stadium this Sunday, with both sides riding high after securing victories in their recent contests.

But in the Premier League, it was a different tale for United as they had to dig deep for a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth last weekend.

Current Standings: Brentford is presently 11th in the points table with 49 points, whereas United find themselves struggling at the 14th position with 39 points.

Head to Head Record: Manchester United has had the better of Brentford in this rivalry with a win-loss record of 5-1 in seven PL games. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Brentford FC Preview

Brentford’s European dream got a big lift this week as they cruised to a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with Schade and Wissa finding the net. The victory puts Thomas Frank’s side just two points off eighth-placed Fulham—potentially enough for European qualification. And if Manchester City lift the FA Cup, even ninth could do the trick, which is currently just two points away as well.

Brentford have netted 58 goals this season, with 34 coming at home—bettered only by Liverpool, Man City, and Newcastle. Leading the charge are Mbeumo and Wissa, who’ve combined for a staggering 35 goals. With Manchester United’s shaky defence up next, the dynamic duo will be eyeing another statement performance.

Key Stats 

1. Brentford are on a roll, unbeaten in four league games and fresh off back-to-back wins—their first such streak since February.
2. Home form has been a struggle for Brentford, with just one win in their last nine at the Gtech—though that lone victory was a thrilling 4-2 triumph over Brighton last time out.
3. Bryan Mbeumo is Brentford's top scorer in the Premier League for the 2024/25 season. 

Team News 

Brentford have had some good news with Aaron Hickey and Igor Thiago back in training after long injuries. But they’ll miss midfielder Vitaly Janelt for the rest of the season due to a heel problem.

Brentford Probable XI - Flekken (GK); Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Henry; Norgaard, Yarmolyuk; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa

Manchester United FC Preview

Manchester United head into the second leg brimming with confidence after a commanding 3-0 win over Athletic Club—putting one foot in the final. That leaves Amorim with a real dilemma: does he rest key players to keep them fresh for Thursday, risking more league points, or go full throttle and deal with the consequences later?

Still, with United heading for their worst-ever Premier League finish—regardless of their remaining results—Amorim is likely to focus more on the Europa League semi-final second leg than the game against Brentford. Bruno Fernandes remains United’s heartbeat, and once again, all eyes will be on him. The Portuguese maestro enters the clash brimming with confidence after bagging a brilliant brace in their recent Europa League outing.

Key Stats 

1. Man United are currently in the midst of a five-game winless run in the Premier League.
2. The Red Devils haven’t won any of their last five Premier League games against teams above them.
3. Bruno Fernandes is Manchester United's top scorer in the Premier League for the 2024/25 season, with 8 goals. 

Team News 

Man United boss Amorim is expected to shake things up for the trip to London, opting to rest several key names. Noussair Mazraoui won’t feature at the Gtech, marking his first Premier League absence this season. 

Manchester United Probable XI - Onana(GK); Fredricson, De Ligt, Shaw; Kamason, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass; Mainoo, Mount; Obi

BRENTFORD FC vs MANCHESTER UNITED FC
Winning Prediction

Brentford have just one win in seven Premier League meetings with United, but Sunday could be their best shot yet to change that. With United’s focus elsewhere and key players rested, the Red Devils risk matching a six-game winless run last seen under Louis van Gaal in 2015. But then an understrength side isn’t likely to trouble the Bees much this time around. So, Brentford go in as favourites to win.
