Premier League predictions for Man City vs Brentford today
My Man City vs Brentford best bet: Man City to be leading at halftime and fulltime (-108 at Sports Interaction)
Man City boast the highest points-per-game mark at home in the Premier League, and they’ve only lost once domestically at Etihad Stadium all season.
Meanwhile, Brentford sit 13th in the away league table after losing over half of their road games. That will spell trouble against City, who have led at halftime in 12 of 16 home matches while scoring 23 first-half goals in the process, five more than any other team in the EPL.
With the Premier League title on the line, City will hold on to secure all three points.
