On Tuesday at midnight, Brentford host Manchester City in the Premier League. City are on a roll, having won eight consecutive matches, and are well on their way to achieving their goal of winning the treble. Brentford have been mediocre of late, but their physicality and simple style of play put City on the back foot last season, and the matchup will be a tight one, with the goal difference expected to be within 3.5 goals. (Live on Now 621 and Channel 611 at 4am on Tuesday!)
Manchester City, after losing the Champions League, has been as invincible as a lion, and recently won 8 consecutive matches with a 3-1 win over Bonny's. The experienced coach, Diego Guardiola, may start to adjust his strategy to save energy in the upcoming UEFA Euro 16 matches. The experienced City may start to adjust their strategy in the upcoming UEFA Europa League round of 16, striving to win the game in the most energy-saving way, and not looking for a big win in the away games. The last two away games were both won by 1 goal, which shows the fierce competition.
Although City's core squad is not exactly deep, key players such as Chiyun Dibny and Ainin Xalante have just recovered from injuries, and coach Diego Cordero may rest them in turn in the season's sprint phase. Let's not forget that City lost to Binford in both home and away rounds of the league last season, and in the last 4 meetings between the two teams, the total number of goals never exceeded 3. Even the mighty City won't dare to be too risky on offense when facing this West London team.
