Burnley v Brentford

Burnley vs Brentford Preview

Burnley picked up an important point in last weekend's Premier League in a 2-2 draw away from home at West Ham but nevertheless even though Burnley avoided defeat, that result has only extended The Clarets' winless run in the English top flight to a miserable looking 10 games overall, while Brentford's worrying dip in form extended to five games without a win following a 2-1 loss away from home at Arsenal, making it four defeats in their last five games.

Having been dealt no fewer than seven defeats within these last 10 games overall in the domestic top flight, Vincent Kompany's Burnley outfit find themselves sitting in second from bottom position in the table and now a significant 10 points adrift of fourth from bottom club Nottingham Forest and safety ahead of this upcoming clash on Saturday afternoon.

Burnley have collected three draws within this latest poor sequence of results but the straight win markets look highly risky for this upcoming encounter while goals for both teams could feature at Turf Moor as six of Burnley's last 10 matches overall have seen both teams hitting the back of the net.

Results at home haven't been much better for Burnley as they have managed to capture just one win so far this season at Turf Moor.

Brentford haven't fared much better in recent times in the Premier League either as The Bees have registered just two wins from their previous 14 games overall in the domestic top flight with victories gained over Nottingham Forest and Wolves but Thomas Frank's side have also been dealt no fewer than 11 defeats in the process, making them as equally vulnerable as their hosts, Burnley.

The uncharacteristic high number of losses for The Bees this season suggests there are no guarantees of success here for the London club but goals for both teams have been the most prevalent result in Brentford's recent games in the English top flight as 11 of their last 14 matches overall have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net as well.

Form away from home has also seemingly deserted Brentford as The Bees have lost eight out of their last nine games on the road which only further underlines how tough the visitors have found this season to be, especially as they've been without their leading goalscorer, Ivan Toney.

Ivan Toney is now back in the fold though and having scored four goals in nine games the striker will be licking his lips at the prospect of coming up against Burnley's fragile defensive unit on Saturday afternoon.
