Is the Norwegian preparing for another hat-trick?
The national teams have held their September meetings and it is time to get back to club business. On September 14, the Premier League matchday 4 between Manchester City and Brentford will take place at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:00 Moscow time. The bookmakers have already given their predictions, now it is our turn.
What bookmakers expect from the English Championship match between Manchester City and Brentford on September 14, 2024
The bookmakers are clear in their predictions: they consider the home team to be the favourite. They offer to bet on Manchester City’s victory with a rate of 1.20, which is even more than approximately 80% probability. The Brentford victory is available at the bookmakers with a rate of 14.00, which is less than 10% probability. They also do not believe in a draw, the odds vary within 8.30.
At the same time, analysts are convinced that the match in the English Premier League will be productive. A total of less than 2.5 goals has a rate of 3.30, and a total of more than 2.5 goals has a rate of only 1.33. Moreover, the victory of the hosts with a difference of at least two goals is estimated at a coefficient of 1.53, which translated into the language of probability exceeds 65%. The advantage is obvious.
Analysis and prediction for the match of the 4th day of the Premier League Manchester City – Brentford (14/09/2024)
Manchester City are one of only two clubs to have collected all nine points possible in the first three rounds of the English league. Moreover, their opponents were not the most modest. First they managed to beat Chelsea with a clean sheet (2-0), then they beat Ipswich (4-1) and West Ham (3-1).
Liverpool can only boast a similar result, but they were more modest in attack. The rest of the teams have certainly lost points. The Citizens are currently at the top of the table thanks to the better difference in goals and goals conceded. Although this is clearly nothing to write home about here.

Mbappé or Kane? Holland! Prediction for the Champions League scoring race
Much more interesting is that seven of the team’s nine goals were scored by Erling Haaland. In the fourth round of the English Premier League, he logically leads the scoring race with a four-goal advantage over his closest rival. In the last two rounds, the Norwegian managed to score a hat-trick. Dear!
At the same time, the training camp for the national team is unlikely to have a negative impact on Haaland. In the first round of the Nations League in Kazakhstan, the striker came up against a wall in the person of Stanislav Cherchesov, his Norwegian team was content with only zeros on the scoreboard. But already in the 2nd round, with his goal he helped beat the Austrian national team (2-1).
With such a valuable asset, Pep Guardiola can rest easy on the outcome at least in the next game. It is no surprise that Real Madrid are rumoured to be willing to part with Vinicius or Rodrigo in order to sign the Norwegian. Perhaps the only thing Brentford can count on is scoring a goal.
The fact is that City’s defence is less stable than its attack. Brentford, on the other hand, had a good start. In the Premier League they only lost to Liverpool, but that’s no shame. Especially if they also managed to win over Crystal Palace (2-1), Southampton (3-1) and Colchester United (1-0) in the FA League Cup.

At the same time, the Bees managed to score in three of the four previous clashes with City. In this context, the combined bet “both teams will score and Manchester City will win” is considered. If this seems too risky, you can simply believe in goals from both sides. The coefficient is also normal.
Tender: Both will score and Manchester City will win in 2.45.
