Brentford vs MU Strength Assessment: Opportunity to defeat the Red Devils

The match between Brentford and Manchester United takes place at 8:00 p.m. on May 4 at Gtech Community Stadium, promising to bring a lot of drama when the two teams are in opposite states. Brentford is in good form, while MU is struggling in the Premier League.

Brentford are on an impressive four-game unbeaten run, including two consecutive wins – something they haven’t done since February. The upturn in form has seen Thomas Frank’s side climb to 11th place, just two points off the top eight. This is a clear chance for them to dream of a European place, especially as they are playing very well at home with 34 goals in 17 games – only behind Liverpool, Man City and Newcastle.

In terms of squad, Brentford received good news when defender Aaron Hickey and striker Igor Thiago returned. Despite losing Janelt and Carvalho due to injury, the home team still has notable players such as Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa - the duo has scored a total of 35 goals in the Premier League this season.

In contrast, Manchester United are going through one of their worst spells in the league. A run of five games without a win has left them in 14th place, just three points above the relegation zone. Their away form has also been disappointing, with just 18 goals scored in 17 away games.

Having to focus on the Europa League has forced coach Ruben Amorim to rotate his squad. Many key players will be rested, and young names like Harry Amass or Chido Obi-Martin can start in the Premier League for the first time. Along with a long injury list including Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirkzee and Lisandro Martinez, MU's strength is being questioned.

In that context, Brentford is considered the upper team in terms of both performance and motivation. With the current stability and home advantage, they have a great chance to win all 3 points and continue the race for the top 8.

Score prediction: Brentford 3-1 MU.
