Manchester, England - 17.08.2025: Red Manchester United flag with club crest blows in the wind near Old Trafford stadium.

Here are our best Manchester United vs Brentford betting tips and predictions ahead of Monday night's Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

After an exciting weekend of fixtures, round 34 of the Premier League concludes on Monday with United hosting Brentford. Both sides are firmly in the hunt for European football, meaning this one has plenty riding on it.

Third-placed United head into Monday in mixed form, with three wins, two losses and one draw in their last six league fixtures. Brentford, meanwhile, have drawn their last five since beating Burnley at Turf Moor in February.

When these two met earlier in the season, it was Brentford who claimed all three points thanks to a Thiago brace and Mathias Jensen's stoppage-time strike.

Manchester United vs Brentford Prediction

Looking forward to Monday, United are the favourites with most UK betting sites. The Red Devils are priced around 1.81, while Brentford are 4.00 underdogs.

Those figures are understandable, given the head-to-head record between the two clubs at Old Trafford. United have won the last seven home meetings with Brentford, with their only defeat coming 89 years ago in the old First Division back in 1936.

Brentford's recent unbeaten run of six matches has shown how hard they are to break down, but with goals hard to come by, United will fancy their chances.

We therefore predict that Michael Carrick's Man United will prove true strong for Brentford, though a draw remains a possibility given the Bees' recent run.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Brentford

Manchester United vs Brentford Betting Tips

Take a look below at our top three Manchester United vs Brentford betting tips, each of which can be backed ahead of Monday night's match.

Below, we have picked out three of our best betting tips for Arsenal vs Newcastle, which can all be backed ahead of this weekend's fixture.

Manchester United & No - Result/Both Teams To Score - 3.60

Our first pick is for Manchester United to secure the win, with Brentford failing to score. History tells us that United have good odds of beating Brentford at home. The Bees have failed to score in four of their last seven league games.

We therefore feel that backing United on home turf is a solid choice, and expect them to put in a performance closer to last week's win at Chelsea than the loss to Leeds in their previous home fixture.

Brentford have proven themselves to be stubborn opponents. However, their record at Old Trafford is simply terrible, and we see no reason to think that will end on Monday.

Benjamin Sesko first goalscorer - 5.00

Next, United striker Benjamin Sesko is our pick for first goalscorer. After a difficult start to his United career, the Slovenian international has enjoyed a solid first season in the Premier League.

Sesko has 10 goals in all competitions, making him the Red Devils' joint-top scorer. After netting just twice in his first 16 league games, he now has seven in the last 12 and has really started settling into life at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old is therefore a great option for a first goalscorer pick, especially at odds of 5.00.

Correct score: 2-2 - 12.00

Finally, you could stand to make a great profit if our third pick wins on Monday. While we do predict United to win, the form book has thrown up an interesting betting option.

Brentford's last five league games have finished 0-0, 2-2, 0-0, 2-2, 0-0. It would be remarkable to see them continue this alternation pattern of draws, but stranger things have happened in football.

With 12.00 odds, a small wager could return good money. This could therefore be a fun additional option to add to any other planned bets.
