The match has started, but it’s not an easy one for the two clubs. Both Manchester City and Brentford already have a nice opportunity. Manchester City are currently finding it difficult to break Brentford's defense, Brentford's defense is just too tight, but Manchester City is not a club that any club is supposed to be playing a defensive game with when they are not winning yet. Manchester City have a dangerous striker, which they will end up finding their way to break their opponents defense. We are just in the first half of the match, but am sure Manchester City will do everything possible to win the match.
The first half was almost over, but neither of them had scored any goals. For Man City, we need a goal.It was quite satisfying to see Man City dominating the match but still not being able to score a goal. Of course, scoring goals won't be that easy. But on the other hand, this is Man City, the opponent is Brentford, if the results continue like this, then what's the difference between Man City and lower clubs which don't have big players in them.
But I still believe that Man City will win this time. They can't possibly waste any more chances to just draw. Unless there is something wrong with them.
Manchester City dominated the first half and they have 17 shots, 6 of which were on target. There were no goals until the end of the first half but Brentford were lucky not to concede one. Brentford are defending and very passionate, but I believe Manchester City will win this game in the end.
So far, Alvarez seems to be having difficulty getting into his best form, as well as Haaland, who has had minimal opportunities. I hope Pep Guardiola can find a solution to break down Brentford's defense in the second half, but it will still be difficult. Good cooperation must be improved, Manchester City must win this match.
