Betting Tips and Predictions for Man Utd vs Brentford
Here are our Premier League predictions for Wednesday's clash at Old Trafford between Man Utd and Brentford. Ten Hag's men will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at Newcastle on Sunday, while Brentford will be hoping to put in the kind of performance that saw the Bees thrash Man Utd 4-0 in the pair's reverse league fixture.
Contents
Both Teams to Score
Our first Man Utd vs Brentford prediction is for both teams to score during the 90-minutes. We're not convinced that the defences are going to come out on top this Wednesday as Man United have conceded goals in four of their last six matches in all competitions, while both teams have scored in four of Brentford's last six league games. The goals seem to flow when these two teams go head-to-head and we're predicting more of the same in their latest encounter.
Over 2.5 Goals
Our second Man Utd vs Brentford prediction concerns the total goals scored during the 90-minutes. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the last four meetings between these two clubs since 2021, including one friendly. Three of Man Utd's last six matches in league and cup have ended with at least four goals being scored, while Brentford head into this midweek match on the back of an epic 3-3 draw with Brighton.

Man Utd vs Brentford Lineups
Man Utd
Man Utd can't really argue with the result of their weekend trip to St James' Park. Newcastle always looked the brighter of the two sides and second-half goals from Willock and Wilson secured a 2-0 victory for the Magpies which took them above Man Utd in the Premier League table. Casemiro remains suspended for the hosts and van de Beek, Eriksen, Sabitzerm Martial, Varane, Rashford, Heaton and Garnacho are all injury concerns.
Predicted Lineup – de Gea (GK), Varane, Shaw, Dalot, Martínez, Sabitzer, Fernandes, McTominay, Weghorst, Rashford & Antony
Brentford
Brentford probably should have won away at Brighton at the weekend, after they took the lead three times against the Seagulls. Jansson fired the Bees in front but Mitoma equalised 11-minutes later. Toney got Brentford back in front moments later but the pair went in at the break level thanks to an equaliser from Welbeck. Early in the second half, Pinnock scored a rare goal to restore Brentford's lead but in the final minute of the 90-minutes, the home side were awarded a penalty which Mac Allister converted to make the final scoreline 3-3. Lewis-Potter, Ajer and Janelt could miss out this week through injury but Baptiste returns to the squad following a suspension.
Predicted Lineup – Raya (GK), Jansson, Mee, Henry, Pinnock, Hickey, Nørgaard, Jensen, Damsgaard, Toney & Mbeumo

Player to Watch: Ivan Toney
Brentford's talisman and star striker Ivan Toney continues to prove his worth to the Premier League and the England national team.
The 27-year-old who was cut loose from Newcastle and looked like he would spend the rest of his career outside the top flight is now one of the most consistent goalscorers in the Premier League and someone top teams will be looking to sign this summer.
We're backing Toney to cause the Man Utd defence issues this weekend and wouldn't be surprised to see the England international get on the scoreboard once again.
