Brentford v Bournemouth

Brentford vs Bournemouth Preview

Brentford slipped to a fourth defeat in seven games in the English top flight on Monday night when The Bees were dealt a 2-1 loss away from home at Fulham, but the hosts will return to their Gtech Community Stadium for this Saturday afternoon's clash against south coast visitors Bournemouth, no doubt looking to make amends on home soil.

Brentford have managed to pick up just two wins within these previous seven league games overall which came in the form of victories over Wolves 5-3 and Ipswich Town 4-3 in high-scoring and highly entertaining clashes, whilst also slipping to four losses within this period as well.

Defeats at the hands of Manchester City 2-1, Tottenham 3-1, Manchester United 2-1 and the aforementioned 2-1 loss to Fulham have prevented The Bees from moving further up the Premier League table and improving upon their current placing of 12th in the table.

However, although the straight win markets look a fairly risky proposition, the goals market looks highly promising as no fewer than nine out of Brentford's last 10 matches overall in the English top flight have resulted in both teams scoring - eight of which have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.

Bournemouth bring an encouraging three-game unbeaten sequence into this upcoming fixture in the nation's capital when The Cherries take on Brentford having collected two wins and a draw.

Impressive wins registered against last season's second placed and title winners Arsenal and Manchester City respectively will give Andoni Iraola's side a massive boost as they hit the road on Saturday afternoon, along with having gained a point in a 1-1 draw at Villa Park against Aston Villa.

The bigger picture shows Bournemouth have lost just three out of their 10 league matches played to date this term along with The Cherries picking up wins earlier in the season against Everton and south coast rivals, Southampton as well.

Six of Bournemouth's 10 games so far in this season's Premier League campaign have also resulted in both teams scoring and as Bournemouth have managed to pick up just three wins from their previous 15 outings on the road, the goals market certainly looks appealing for this upcoming clash at the Gtech Community Stadium.

In addition, no fewer than 10 of these previous 15 away games in the Premier League have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net, so this option looks a pretty reliable prospect for Saturday.

Brentford v Bournemouth Verdict

Three out of the last five meetings between Brentford and Bournemouth have seen both teams score and the prospect of this encounter also producing Over 2.5 goals looks a distinct possibility between two attacking football teams.
