When Brentford FC were in trouble with financial trouble Matthew Benham stood up. He loaned Brentford FC 700000 usd with a condition that the supporters buy the shares of the club. But the supporters refused and thats how Matthew Benham became the owner of Brentford FC. Matthew Benham was already in sports gambling and analytics. He had already a project going on in Denmark where he bought FC Midtjylland. He had experimented all his analytics there already so he thought of doing the same with Brentford FC too. With the help of analytics and research Brentford FC bought players like Syed Benrahma, Ollie Watkins and Neil Maupay with a value of just under $8.3 million. While they sold them for almost $102 million. Thats a record profit they made by selling only three of their players. With getting bankruptcy to have a market value of 300 million. Mathew Benham just played his biggest gamble by giving loan of only seven hundred usd to a club he loves to see playing.

During the last season of Championship playoff Final , Brentford FC won the final and had the ticket to compete in English Premier league with all the other top tier clubs.

They beat Arsenal in their fist premiere league match by two goals to zero. What other they might had expected? It was like a dram for them. A dream start for a club and their fans.

In their second match they had a goalless draw match against Crystal Palace.

In their third match they did draw again against Aston Villa.

Their only lost came against Brighton and Hove Albion in their fourth match of the season.

They beat wolves in their fifth match.

They stopped mighty Liverpool from beating them in their six match. Liverpool is clearly the contender of the title in this season. And yes Brentford FC made a 3-3 draw against them.

And during the last night they beat West ham United in their seventh match of the season.

If they continue this form in a few more matches in this season then they don't have to worry about relegation battle anymore. And who know they may do something like Leicester United if their dream run continues like this.
