This is a no-brainer for anyone who has followed the league, but if you look only at the actual table it does not make much sense as Nottingham are actually 1 point ahead of Brentford!

However the two factors for this pick are the fact that Brentford are the better team at all departments, and the performance data places them 10 points ahead of Nottingham and they should be nowhere near of the relegation battle.

Secondly there are massive team news, as Brentford get back their top striker Ivan Toney after 8 months of suspension, and if and when fit he is the leagues best striker and scorer, and there is no lack of fitness or motivation this time!

Look at the words from Brentford camp:

‘He’s buzzing like an eight-year-old boy who wants to go out and play his first football game – it’s pure joy. I’m looking into the eyes of a player who is very committed and very excited.

I’ll break it now that he will start tomorrow, and he will also lead the team out of the tunnel as captain.’

It is very possible that there is even too much effort from him, and a combination of a hat trick and a red card would not surprise me, but one thing is sure, he will fire up the Brentford side with his presence.

Brentford have lost now 5 games in a row, some of them deservedly, some of them less so.

Both teams have ridiculously many players out from this game, but with the better systematic approach of Brentford I see them better capable of dealing with it, and Toney will be the dynamite to fire them up from the start.

这对任何关注联赛的人来说都是显而易见的，但如果你只看实际的积分榜，这并没有多大意义，因为诺丁汉实际上领先布伦特福德1分!

然而，这个选择的两个因素是，布伦特福德在所有方面都是更好的球队，而且他们的表现数据显示他们领先诺丁汉10分，他们应该离保级战还差得很远。

其次，还有大量的球队新闻，布伦特福德在停赛8个月后迎来了他们的顶级前锋伊万·托尼，如果他健康的话，他将是联盟最好的前锋和得分手，这一次他们并不缺乏健康和动力!

看看Brentford camp的单词:

“他就像一个八岁的小男孩，想要第一次出去踢足球——这是纯粹的快乐。”我看到的是一个非常投入、非常兴奋的球员的眼睛。

我现在就告诉你，他明天就会首发，而且他还将以队长的身份带领球队走出隧道。”

很有可能他付出了太多的努力，一个帽子戏法和一张红牌的组合并不会让我感到惊讶，但有一件事是肯定的，他会用他的存在点燃布伦特福德的锋线。

布伦特福德已经连续输了5场比赛，有些是罪有应得，有些则不然。

两支球队在这场比赛中都有很多球员出局，但由于布伦特福德更好的系统方法，我认为他们更有能力应对这种情况，托尼将成为从一开始就点燃他们的炸药。
