Brentford - Manchester United predictions and free betting tips [30/03/2024]

On Saturday, 30th March, Brentford will welcome Manchester United for the 30th round of Premier League. Brentford, also known as the "Bees", went into the international break following a 2:1 defeat against Burnley, while the "Red Devils" emerged victorious from an enthralling FA Cup quarter-final clash with Liverpool (4:3).

Predicted Lineups

Brentford: Flekken; Zanka, Collins, Ajer; Roerslev, Janelt, Onyeka, Jensen, Lewis-Potter; Mbeumo, Toney.
Manchester United: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Dalot; Mainoo, McTominay; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.

Brentford

Currently, Brentford are positioned 15th in the Premier League table, just five points clear of the relegation zone. The Bees need to stay alert to avoid a nerve-racking end to the season, having won only once in their last nine league games, with seven defeats. After a dramatic draw against Chelsea (2:2), Brentford lost 2:1 to Arsenal and suffered the same defeat to struggling Burnley just before the international break.

Sergio Reguilon was sent off just nine minutes into the clash, with Jacob Bruun Larsen and David Datro Fofana netting for Burnley. In general, Thomas Frank's squad has been defeated 17 times in the current EPL campaign, only Burnley and Sheffield United have fared worse with 20 defeats. Brentford have conceded multiple goals in each of their last four matches and have taken only one point from their last three home games. 

Manchester United

Currently 6th in the Premier League table, with a game in hand and trailing the top four by 9 points, Manchester United's chances of securing a Champions League spot are slim. On the flip side, the visitors stand a good chance of securing a berth in lower-ranked European competitions. The Red Devils suffered setbacks against Fulham (1:2) and Manchester City (3:1), after a streak of four consecutive wins, but recovered in the last round, defeating Everton 2:0.

Just before the international break, Erik ten Hag's team overcame Liverpool in the FA Cup (4:3 after extra time) and will face Coventry in the semi-finals thanks to a goal from Amad Diallo. United's six-match away winning streak before the defeat in the Manchester derby in March should give the visitors confidence. 

Head-to-Head

The Red Devils have claimed two consecutive victories over the Bees on Old Trafford, snatching all three points in October thanks to a brace from Scott McTominay in stoppage time (2:1). 

Brentford vs Manchester United Match Prediction

Despite their recent poor run, Brentford are capable of taking points off any rival at home, especially as their attacking trio of Mbeumo, Ivan Tony and Yoane Wissa are ready to start. The Mancunians have been solid in their last two games, reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and with Mount and Hojbjerg back in action, it's reasonable to back United for a win with a handicap of 0. 

Goals Prediction

Even though Brentford are conceding against everyone, they have the firepower to score — especially with Tony back from suspension. We're confidently going for both teams to score.

Corner Prediction

Both teams practise an attacking style of football and are unlikely to sit back in their own half. Expecting an entertaining match, we're betting on over 9.5 total corners.

Bookings Prediction

Both teams tend to get booked around 2.5 times per game on average, so we recommend betting on over 4.5 total yellow cards. 

Score Prediction

Our prediction is a 2:1 win in Manchester United's favour.
