The Manchester City vs Brentford match is believed to be interesting. Man City is indeed far superior, but in fact there is never an easy match against Brentford, Guardiola admitted.

Saturday, September 14, 2024, Man City will host Brentford at the Etihad Stadium in the 4th week of the 2024/2025 Premier League. The match is scheduled to kick off at 21.00 WIB.

On paper, it is clear that the defending champions are more favored. Moreover, Man City is playing at home, they are much stronger and have almost never lost.

However, Josep Guardiola emphasized that there is never an easy match against Brentford, especially since there are interesting facts that make this match even more exciting.

No Easy Game Against Brentford

Man City is still very strong this season. They started the 2024/2025 season perfectly, 9 points from 3 consecutive wins, solid performance.

On paper, Brentford should be a piece of cake for Man City, with another three points to come. However, Guardiola has other ideas.

“Since they got promoted, I don’t remember exactly, but it was always a tough game. They changed the formation a little bit and I feel they are playing now in a similar style to the Championship,” said Pep.

“They showed a good process in building attacks. Aggressive in man-to-man. They were very neat in transition, they are a complete team.”

Interesting Facts, Brentford Beat Man City

Well, there is an interesting fact regarding the Man City vs Brentford match. It turns out that Brentford was the last team to beat Man City at the Etihad Stadium.

Back then, in November 2022, Man City lost 1-2 to Brentford. And since then, Man City have not lost at home again.

“So the last time we lost here was against Brentford?” Pep asked. “That shows how good we are in almost two years and we haven’t lost.”
