Brentford v Bournemouth

Brentford vs Bournemouth Preview

Brentford take on Bournemouth at their Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the hosts look to extend their unbeaten start to this new domestic season which has seen The Bees pick up five points from their opening three league games while Bournemouth have managed to pick up just one point from the possible nine on offer to date this term.

Points picked up in draws with a 2-2 draw at home with Tottenham on the opening day of this new Premier League season along with a 1-1 draw at home with Crystal Palace were either side of an impressive 3-0 win away from home at London rivals, Fulham, and Brentford will be keen to go one step better this time at home when they play host to Bournemouth.

Brentford also progressed through to the 3rd round of this season's EFL Cup on Tuesday night, courtesy of a win on penalties against League Two side, Newport County, but The Bees now return to the Gtech Community Stadium for Saturday's clash with the hosts looking to build upon a promising set of results that have seen Brentford lose just twice in their previous 12 matches overall.

The hosts have been a tough unit to beat at home under manager, Thomas Frank, as The Bees have lost just two of their last 14 games on home soil.

Bournemouth have pretty much picked up where they left off at the end of last season's campaign as The Cherries have managed to pick up just one point from their opening three games of this new English top flight season which came in the form of a 1-1 draw at home with West Ham on the opening day of this campaign.

However, Bournemouth's hopes of making a solid start to this new Premier League season were soon dashed by being handed back-to-back defeats by Liverpool 3-1 away from home and a 2-0 loss at home to Tottenham, leaving the south coast side sitting just above the relegation zone in the early stages of this season.

A 3-2 win away from home at Championship side, Swansea City, though on Tuesday night in the EFL Cup may serve as a welcome boost for Andoni Iraola's side but having lost their last three away games on the trot in the Premier League, this could be a tall order for Bournemouth on Saturday.

Brentford v Bournemouth Verdict

Previous history certainly seems to favour Brentford ahead of this upcoming meeting with Bournemouth as The Bees have lost just once in the last six meetings against their south coast visitors but this could be a low-scoring affair with just a single goal to separate the two sides as Brentford continue without striker, Ivan Toney, and Bournemouth will be desperate to halt the early flow of defeats here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score No @ 2.05

Other side bets worth considering:

Under 2.5 goals @ 2.10
