Brentford vs Man Utd: Free Predictions & Odds
Man Utd were unconvincing in their opening game against Brighton and many have been left wondering if the Premier League giants have learned anything from the last campaign. Brentford were the surprise package of the division last season and don't show any signs of second-season syndrome following a 2-2 draw away at Leicester.

Brentford Double Chance
Obviously, it is too early to write Man Utd off but it might take ten Hag a bit of time to get the team playing as he wants. With that in mind and given the fact that Manchester United lost at home to Brighton last time out while Brentford came from 2-goals down at Leicester to secure a point, we're backing Brentford to avoid defeat on Saturday evening. Brentford were strong at home last season and have that experience in the Premier League under their belt and will be looking to get at United from the first whistle.
Both Teams to Score
Three of the last five competitive and non-competitive meetings between these two clubs have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, and we're expecting more of the same on Saturday. Three of Brentford's and five of Man Utd's last six outings in all competitions have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, so you can see why we're no confident that either side will keep their clean sheet intact this weekend.

Man Utd need to bounce back following surprise defeat
Brentford showed a lot of spirit following a poor first-half performance away at Leicester, eventually coming back from two goals down to secure a point and prove the doubters wrong. Castagne scored a rare goal in the 33rd-minute to hand the Foxes the lead at the break and early in the second forty-five, Dewsbury-Hall made it 2-0 to the hosts. The Bees needed a response and they got one just after the hour mark when Toney forced the ball home to make it 2-1 and 4-minutes from time, Dasilva equalised for Brentford to make the final score 2-2 at the King Power Stadium.
Brentford Predicted Lineup: Raya, Jansson, Mee, Henry, Hickey, Nørgaard, Jensen, Janelt, Toney, Wissa & Mbeumo
There was plenty of hope and excitement at Old Trafford as ten Hag took charge of his first Premier League game. However, it turned out to be more of the same old Man Utd from last season as Groß scored twice in the first-half to send the Seagulls in at the break 2-0 up, and deservedly so. Man Utd improved in the second half but didn't offer enough of a threat in the final third, so despite Mac Allister putting through his own net in the 68th-minute to make it 2-1, United suffered a shock defeat.
Man Utd Predicted Lineup: de Gea, Maguire, Shaw, Dalot, Martínez, Eriksen, Fred, Fernandes, McTominay, Rashford & Sancho
