Premier League Prediction: Brentford vs Manchester United (04.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 20:00 WIB, Brentford will host Manchester United in a Premier League clash. Surprisingly, bookmakers have made the home side strong favorites. Let’s assess whether that’s justified and provide our prediction.

Current Form – Brentford in Premier League 2025

Brentford is enjoying an excellent run of form:

• 4-match unbeaten streak

• Recently beat Brighton and Nottingham Forest

• Drew with Chelsea and Arsenal before that
  

Their latest win at Nottingham closed the gap to 2 points behind 8th place, keeping their hopes alive for a Europa Conference League spot (if 8th qualifies due to cup results).

Despite a tough remaining schedule, Brentford has shown resilience and is pushing for Europe.

Current Form – Manchester United in Premier League 2025

Manchester United is finishing the season with mixed priorities:

• Focused entirely on the Europa League

• Recently produced their best European performance with a dominant away win over Athletic Bilbao, virtually sealing a spot in the final
  

In the league, however:

• United’s domestic results are secondary

• Already out of contention for key league positions

• Likely to rotate heavily and rest key players for upcoming European matches
  

Coach Rúben Amorim is expected to prioritize squad management over results in the remaining Premier League games.
