Deciding factors · 03

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

  1. Home advantage

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Brentford. It closes the gap but does not erase Man City's extra quality.

    EdgeEven

  2. Expected goals

    With 2.9 expected goals, the 2.5 line is near 50/50 (54% for the over).

    EdgeEven

  3. Quality gap

    Man City rate clearly stronger and the draw is only 25%. If they score first, the game should follow.

Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Brentford

Brentford are likely to sit in a compact shape at Gtech Community Stadium and wait for a single opening rather than chase control.

Away

Manchester City

Man City are set up to control the ball. They should own most of the possession on the road at Gtech Community Stadium and keep Brentford penned in for long stretches.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Man City field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Brentford score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
