Bournemouth v Brentford

Bournemouth vs Brentford Preview

Bournemouth's winless run in the Premier League was extended to three games overall last weekend as The Cherries were eventually held to a 2-2 draw away from home in north London at Tottenham despite holding a 2-0 lead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the south coast side now return to the home surroundings of their Vitality Stadium for this upcoming clash against Brentford.

Brentford continue to produce a mixed bag of results this season in the Premier League as The Bees suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa last weekend while the London club have posted 11 wins, been involved in five draws but have also succumbed to 12 defeats as well within their total of 28 matches played to date.

Recent back-to-back defeats to Wolves and Brighton in 1-0 and 2-1 losses respectively were followed by the aforementioned 2-2 draw away from home at Spurs which in turn has resulted in Andoni Iraolas's side to drop down the Premier League table to ninth place but a return to winning ways this Saturday could thrust The Cherries back into contention for a possible European spot for next season.

Results on home soil at their Vitality Stadium have been encouraging as Bournemouth have lost just three out of their last 11 home games whilst also collecting six wins in the process; goals could also feature as six out of Bournemouth's last 10 games overall have resulted in both teams scoring.

Brentford have not been known for picking up results away from home this season but recent wins on the road at West Ham and Leicester City have produced the highlights where The Bees have been concerned and the visitors will need another result down on the south coast on Saturday evening to atone for a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Aston Villa last weekend.

The bigger picture though provides an insight as to why Thomas Frank's side have been unable to kick on this term and why they find themselves treading water in a mid-table position of 12th place in the Premier League table.

Indeed, Brentford have managed to capture just four wins from their last 13 league matches in the English top flight along with being dealt no fewer than six defeats along with being involved in three draws as well.

Interestingly, all four of Brentford's recent wins have been achieved on their travels and includes earlier wins on the road at Southampton and Crystal Palace, so the visitors cannot be ruled out of a potential result down on the south coast on Saturday evening, while five of Brentford's last 10 away games have also seen both teams score.
