Man United may have temporarily “breathed a sigh of relief” after a 2-1 victory over Chelsea. But Ruben Amorim’s joy is at risk of being extinguished when they have to travel to Brentford’s field. Currently, they have 7 points and are in 11th place on the rankings after 5 rounds.

Although the victory over Chelsea has eased a lot of pressure on Mr. Amorim, the "Red Devils" performance was still not really convincing. They enjoyed a big advantage when goalkeeper Robert Sanchez received a red card in the 5th minute.

Even when playing with one more player, Man United's style of play still lacks sharpness and reveals inherent weaknesses in decisive passes.

The bigger problem for them is their poor away form. Man United have failed to win in their last seven away games in the Premier League (D2 L5).

In addition, the "red devils" also have an alarming record when playing in London. Accordingly, they received 15 defeats in 24 away trips to London.

Meanwhile, Brentford have had a difficult start under new manager Keith Andrews, with just 4 points from their first 5 games. However, they are a very tough opponent when playing at home. The "Bees" have lost only 1 of their last 6 games (won 3, drawn 2).

Brentford have a particularly good record against Man United at home, winning two of their last three Premier League meetings with the Red Devils. The memory of Man United's 3-4 defeat here in May 2024 will certainly still haunt their fans.

However, as a big team, bookmakers still give Man United a handicap of half a goal for the whole match (first half is 0.25 goals). Meanwhile, the over/under is 2.75 goals in 90 minutes and 1.25 goals in the first half.

The personnel situation has made Man United fans even more worried. Key midfielder Casemiro will be out due to suspension after his red card against Chelsea. Center back Lisandro Martinez is still unable to return and Diogo Dalot's ability to play is also uncertain.

Brentford, on the other hand, have almost their strongest squad. The duo of Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma have recovered and could be included in the match list.

The victory over Chelsea is considered by experts as a temporary “pain reliever”, but does not solve the core problems of Man United. Especially when facing Brentford, coach Amorim’s team will quickly “return to earth”.

Expected lineup:

Brentford: Kelleher; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock; Kayode, Henderson, Yarmoliuk, Lewis-Potter; Damsgaard; Schade, Thiago.

Man United: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko.

Prediction: Brentford 2-2 Man United.
