Two sides in need of points lock horns in the Premier League this weekend as Brentford take on Manchester United.
- Date: 27/09/2025
- Kick-off: 12:30pm
- Location: Brentford Community Stadium, West London
Games between these two are usually very watchable, with over 2.5 goals having been scored in six of the last eight head-to-head meetings. They're usually quite competitive too, with both teams scoring in all of the last four clashes.
Man United have tended to have the better of the recent encounters, winning three of the last five (to Brentford's one win). United also take the edge in recent form, with two wins from their last three in the league, while Brentford are winless in their last three.
The Red Devils will be hoping to kick on after a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford on the weekend. United started the game very well, playing with pace and physicality. The key for the team now is to build on the result and put a run of wins together. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but they have an encouraging record against the Bees.
Brentford are coming off the back of a poor 3-1 defeat away at Fulham. Brentford were comfortably second best and despite taking the lead, they were well beaten.
There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the team under manager Keither Andrews. Brentford have plenty to prove after losing Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa in the summer and while there's still quality in the squad, the team is undeniably weaker.
A win over Manchester United would be huge for their confidence, but they're not in the best shape right now.
Brentford 1-2 Manchester United
