Brentford vs Man United form

The major personnel changes over the summer have put Brentford in a difficult situation. New coach Keith Andrews is the one who feels the pressure that he and his players are facing most clearly. After 5 rounds, the Bees have only earned 4 points from a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses.

But just like last season, Brentford are taking full advantage of their home field. In their two home games since the start of the season, the home team has already earned points, while all three away games have seen the London team return empty-handed.

In addition to improving their performance away from home, Brentford also need to find a way to patch up the holes in their backline. After only 5 matches, the Bees have lost 10 goals. The last time they conceded so many goals after the first 5 rounds was more than 2 decades ago, in the 2003/04 season when they were still playing in League One (equivalent to the English Third Division).

In addition, Brentford also had to face a total of 70 shots, a statistic only less than the new signing Burnley (95). The problem is not only in the defense, the midfield line after the departure of captain Christian Norgaard is also not able to do a good job of blocking from afar.

Not to mention, the home team is also showing an unstable performance. Despite being the first to open the score in 4/5 past matches, Brentford only won 1 of those matches, equivalent to dropping 8 points.

Before entering a stormy November with very tough opponents such as Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle, Jordan Henderson and his teammates will welcome Man United. This also promises to be a challenging match for The Bees despite them being unbeaten in all 3 recent encounters with the Red Devils at their home ground Gtech Community (won 2, drew 1).

Can Bryan Mbeumo and his teammates win 3 points at Gtech Community?

On the other side of the front line, Man United's spirit has improved significantly after defeating Chelsea 2-1 in the round last weekend. Taking advantage of the advantage of having more players, the Old Trafford team earned 3 valuable points, thereby helping fans somewhat forget the 0-3 defeat in the Manchester derby.

But like the home team, Man United are currently showing a lack of courage in their away trips. In 3 away matches since the beginning of the season, the Manchester giants have not found the joy of victory once, only drawing 1 and losing 2, including a humiliating defeat at the hands of Grimsby Town, a team playing in League Two (equivalent to the 4th tier of England), in the 2nd round of the English League Cup.

After 5 rounds, Man United is becoming the team with the most shots (81), equivalent to an average of 16.2 times per match. The Red Devils' expected goals index also increased from 1.33 to 2.03 compared to last season.

The visitors' attacking ability is quite good at the moment. However, the real headache for Amorim's team is the defensive problem. In the past 6 matches, Man United has not kept a clean sheet. If including friendly matches, the Red Devils' streak of conceding goals has extended to 10 matches.
