8/1 Bet Builder: Brentford v Manchester City - Top Tips & Predictions

8/1 Bet Builder: Brentford v Manchester City - Top Tips & Predictions

Time to dive into Sunday’s afternoon fixture: Brentford v Manchester City. We’ve put together a Bet Builder that’s coming in at 8/1 with Betfred. A tenner would return £90 if it lands.

We’ve picked each selection using a mix of stats, logic and a bit of gut instinct. Three carefully picked selections, put together into a beautiful looking Bet Builder. We’ve tried to have a bit of fun with it, most people like the win/lose, over/under, BTTS markets - that’s what makes Bet Builders interesting. You get a mixture of all of them.

Let’s break it down by each selection on the slip.

Erling Haaland To Score

I could literally just leave the reasoning section here. But that’s no good for SEO purposes, so I’ll dive into why we’ve included him to score.

Let’s not overcomplicate things, when Haaland is playing, he scores goals. The man is a cheat code. Midweek, he officially became the player with the best goals-to-game ration in Champions League history. Think about that. The competition has seen Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Lewandowski and yet it's Haaland who sits top of the pile.

He’s probably the best player in the world right now.

8 goals in 6 games so far this season.
2.32 shots on target per game on average.
3 goals in his last 4 games against Brentford.

It’s not just the stats either, it just feels inevitable. You know he’s going to get chances against Brentford’s back line. City will dominate the ball, Brentford will be forced deep and Haaland will be lurking. So yeah, first leg of the Bet Builder: Erling Haaland to score. Lock it in.

Brentford Over 3.5 Corners

This is where it gets interesting. City will dominate the ball, you’d expect. However, they have been ropey as of late. They struggle to keep the ball out of the net, and they’re not the same City of 3 years ago who just don’t let the opposition have a sniff.

Set pieces will be a huge part of Brentford’s play if they want to get anything against the former Champions, they’re renowned for their counter attacks and breaks.

This selection has landed in 80% of Brentford’s last 5 games.
Brentford are averaging 5.0 corners per game.
City have conceded 11 corner kicks in their last 2 away fixtures.

It’s a pretty niche shout. But we have confidence in the selection landing.

Nathan Collins To Be Booked

We all love booking bets, surely? Nothing better than watching your player crunch someone on the halfway line and the ref runs over with his hand in his pocket. Some feeling. Anyway, we’ve had Nathan Collins to be shown a yellow (or red).

Collins has been one of Brentford’s better defenders this season, but discipline? Not exactly his strong point.

Been booked 3 times so far this season (6).
He’s averaging 1.5 fouls per game.
Committed 9 fouls in his first 6 games of the season.

That’s a walking yellow card, surely?! And against Haaland? He’ll have the horrible task of keeping him quiet and will practically have to man-handle the giant to keep him away from his own box. And if that isn’t enough, he’s going to have Jeremy Doku running at him too. Nightmare. Screams a yellow.

He’ll have to make decisions quickly, and usually, those decisions end in fouls.

The Bet Builder Combined: 8/1

Let’s lay out the bet all neat and tidy.
