Manchester City face Brentford in the EFL Cup with both sides perfect in the competition so far. City arrive with strong attacking momentum, while Brentford have also delivered goals despite uneven league form.
Recent meetings between these two have stayed competitive. The cup setting adds pressure, but goals remain the defining theme.
Manchester City have won four of their last five matches across competitions, scoring heavily in the process. They have netted at least three goals in three of their last four victories. Defensively, City have not been flawless, conceding in several recent games.
In the EFL Cup, City have won both matches played, scoring five and conceding once. That balance reflects control rather than caution. At home, their ability to sustain pressure usually forces opponents into extended defensive spells.
Brentford’s recent form shows inconsistency, with three defeats in their last five matches. Those losses all came away from home, highlighting a clear drop off outside their own ground. Defensively, they have conceded in four of those five games.
In the EFL Cup, Brentford remain perfect with three wins from three, scoring nine goals. However, they have also conceded in the competition, which mirrors their league pattern. They carry threat, but control has been an issue against stronger sides.
Manchester City to win and both teams to score at 2.88 odds is the best bet. City’s scoring consistency is clear, but recent matches show they rarely shut games down completely. Brentford’s EFL Cup record confirms they can contribute offensively, even if they struggle to manage matches.
For higher value, Manchester City 3-1 at 10.00 odds fits the data trend. City’s attacking dominance combined with Brentford’s defensive exposure away from home supports a multi goal home win with resistance rather than control from the visitors.
