Bryan Mbeumo, the talented striker for Brentford, has been on a roll this season with his impressive performance on the field. As a diehard fan of Brentford, you may not be thrilled at the thought of your team walking out to a song written by a Chelsea fan. However, it may be worth considering playing ‘That’s Entertainment’ by The Jam before kick-off. This brilliant tune perfectly captures the essence of the matches at the Gtech Community Stadium, which has become the go-to place for anyone looking to witness some incredible goals being scored.
Under the guidance of their coach, Thomas Frank, the Brentford team has become known for their entertaining playing style. In fact, they have scored the most number of goals on their home turf compared to any other team in the Premier League. With an impressive 15 goals, they have surpassed the 12 goals celebrated by Manchester City and Arsenal fans, as well as the 11 goals celebrated by Tottenham supporters. It's quite an achievement!
Leading the charge for Brentford's potent attack is none other than Bryan Mbeumo himself. With two goals in the recent thrilling 4-3 match against Ipswich, Mbeumo's tally this season has reached eight in the Premier League. This is only bettered by the 12 goals scored by Manchester City's star striker, Erling Haaland. So far, so good.
However, as they say, every rose has its thorns. Despite their impressive attacking abilities, Brentford has conceded nine goals on their home turf, which is only topped by the 12 goals allowed by Wolves and the ten goals given up by West Ham. Ouch.
But don't let that discourage you, because the Bees have a strong record of both scoring and conceding at home. In fact, in all six of their home matches this season, both teams have scored. This includes their 3-1 victory over League One team Leyton Orient in the Carabao Cup. This trend is expected to continue when Championship club Sheffield Wednesday visits for their fourth consecutive away tie in the competition.
As a spot in the quarter-finals is at stake, it's unlikely that there will be many changes to the Brentford lineup, especially with a local derby against Fulham coming up on the weekend. Coach Thomas Frank has every reason to be pleased with his team's attacking prowess, with Mbeumo leading the charge. He has opened the scoring on four occasions this season and is currently 4/1 with bet365 and Betfred to do so again if he starts. He is also 5/4 with bet365 to score at any time.
In case Mbeumo doesn't feature from the kick-off, Fabio Carvalho could be the one to watch for the opening goal. He set the Bees on their way to victory over Leyton Orient and is currently 13/2 to break the deadlock with bet365. They also offer odds of 11/5 for him to score at any time.
Considering Brentford's track record this season, it's safe to say that there will be plenty of goals in their match against Sheffield Wednesday. In four of their six home games, there have been over three goals. The odds of there being 3.5 or more goals against Sheffield Wednesday are currently at 17/10 with Unibet, BetUK, and BetMGM. If you're feeling more confident, you can also bet on Brentford to win and both teams to score, with odds of 2/1 from bet365 and Sky Bet.
On a personal note, it has been a decent week for us with some successful bets on players like Chris Wood, Phil Foden, and Richarlison scoring. We also saw Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski finding the back of the net, Manchester City winning by more than 3.5 goals in Europe, and Chelsea leading HT/FT. Unfortunately, our Football League accumulator hasn't been as successful, but we're hoping to turn that around with our Tuesday night treble pick of Bolton, Northampton, and Reading to secure away wins in League One.
In other news, Onesmoothoperator, the Northumberland Plate winner trained by Brian Ellison in Yorkshire, is set to race in the Melbourne Cup soon after an impressive victory in the Geelong Cup. You may want to consider placing an each-way bet on him, with odds of 8/1 from various bookmakers.
In the tennis world, Jack Draper has vowed to shake up his opponents after clinching the ATP title in Vienna. Meanwhile, Arne Slot, coach of Feyenoord, has praised an "outstanding" Arsenal player after their draw against Liverpool. And finally, Erik ten Hag has reacted to Diogo Dalot's miss after Manchester United's defeat to West Ham.
So much news to digest, but one thing is for sure - it's an exciting time to be a fan of Brentford!
