Brentford vs. Manchester Utd preview

Brentford welcome Manchester United to the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday with both sides experiencing drastically different fortunes heading into this Premier League clash.

The Bees are flying high after four matches unbeaten, including impressive back-to-back victories over Brighton and Nottingham Forest, while United's league form has completely collapsed with five games without a win.

Despite Thursday's commanding Europa League victory over Athletic Bilbao, Erik ten Hag's side appears distracted by their European campaign and will likely prioritize next week's second leg over this weekend's domestic fixture.

Thomas Frank's men will fancy their chances against a vulnerable United defence that has conceded in five of their last six outings, especially with in-form striker Yoane Wissa looking to score in his fourth consecutive match.

The visitors' struggles on the road – three league games without a victory away from home – only compound their problems against a Brentford side that finally ended their home hoodoo with a convincing win over Brighton last time out.

With United potentially rotating players and the Bees sensing an opportunity to boost their surprise European qualification hopes, this match could provide further evidence of the shifting fortunes between these two clubs.

Brentford vs. Manchester United betting tips

Brentford -1 Handicap (9/5)

Manchester United @ Brentford

Brentford have found impressive form lately, winning their last two matches by two-goal margins against Brighton at home and Nottingham Forest away.

Manchester United's focus clearly lies with their Europa League campaign, making squad rotation highly likely for this Premier League fixture.

The Bees have been particularly dominant at the Gtech Community Stadium this season, making them strong favorites against a potentially weakened United side.

Erik ten Hag's men have struggled for consistency in the league, particularly when juggling European commitments.

With Brentford's attacking threat and United's defensive vulnerabilities, the home side has every chance of covering the handicap with room to spare.

Yoane Wissa To Score Anytime (8/5)

Manchester United @ Brentford

Wissa has been in red-hot form for the Bees, finding the net in three consecutive matches.

The forward's clinical finishing has been a key component in Brentford's recent upturn in results.

Manchester United's defensive frailties have been exposed repeatedly this season, conceding 49 goals in 34 Premier League matches.

With United potentially fielding a rotated backline ahead of their European commitments, Wissa should find opportunities to extend his scoring streak.

His movement and positioning in the box have been exceptional lately, making him the most dangerous threat in Thomas Frank's attacking lineup.

Brentford Clean Sheet (7/4)

Manchester United @ Brentford

Thomas Frank's side has shown defensive solidity recently, keeping clean sheets in two of their last four Premier League outings.

Manchester United have been toothless in attack lately, failing to score in three of their last five league matches.

With United likely to prioritize their upcoming Europa League fixture, their attacking threat could be significantly diminished with key players rested.

Brentford's home form has been impressive, with their defensive organization particularly strong at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Bees' defensive resilience combined with United's offensive struggles makes a home clean sheet a strong possibility on Sunday.
