Brentford look to continue their positive start to the new Premier League season this weekend, as they will host Bournemouth. The Cherries are still without a victory in three matches, and they have suffered back-to-back defeats coming into this weekend.
Premier League Preview
Brentford will be looking to continue their progression this term, as they have their sights set on exceeding their best-ever finish in a top-flight campaign last term. The Bees have started the new season in excellent form, as they have won once in their opening three matches. However, they are yet to suffer a defeat this term.
Thomas Frank’s side had to settle for a point in their previous match, as they played out a 1-1 draw at home against Crystal Palace. Their only effort in that tie was netted by Kevin Schade, which was also their only attempt on target in 90 minutes. The draw means that the Bees are still unbeaten across their last 12 Premier League matches against sides from London, winning six and drawing six over that period.
The pressure will continue to rise on the shoulders of Andoni Iraola, as the Cherries are still searching for their first league win of the season. A disappointing start to the new season has seen Bournemouth suffer two defeats in their last two matches, which came after a positive start to the season at the Vitality against West Ham.
Bournemouth were outclassed in their previous Premier League match, as they fell to a 2-0 home loss against Tottenham. The Cherries managed just three shots on target in that defeat, but they rarely threatened the Spurs goal throughout the fixture. Furthermore, Bournemouth have now conceded the opening goal in 25 matches since the start of last season.
Brentford vs Bournemouth Head to Head
Brentford was unbeaten in the two Premier League clashes between these sides last term. That includes a 2-0 win in this exact fixture. In fact, the Bees are unbeaten in their last seven league matches against the Cherries across fixtures in the Premier League, Championship, and League One.
Brentford vs Bournemouth Prediction
Brentford were below their best last weekend against Palace, but this will be an ideal opportunity for them to get back on track in front of their home fans. We expect the Bees to be back to their best on Saturday, and we struggle to see anything other than a home win.
