Brentford vs Burnley Prediction: Premier League Match on 21.10.2023

It has been a challenging period in the league for both Brentford and Burnley. The hosts will desperately be looking for a return to winning ways, as they have landed maximum points in just one of their eight games this term.

Premier League Preview

Brentford had made a strong start to the new Premier League season over the opening months, but their inability to win matches is becoming a huge concern. The Bees have won just once in their opening eight matches this term, and that leaves them just three points above the relegation places at this early stage. Brentford also comes into this match after losing three of their last four. 

They could have counted themselves as very unfortunate in their most recent league outing, as the Bees looked to be on course for a famous away win against Man United. However, two late goals in second-half injury time meant that they were beaten for the third time this term. A response will be expected of the side back in front of their home fans at the Community Stadium on Saturday.

It has also been a testing opening to the season for Burnley, as the Clarets remain in the bottom three places in the league standings. They were unable to build on their first win of the new season against Luton before the international break, as they were thumped 4-1 by Chelsea at Turf Moor. 

That defeat means that they have now allowed 20 goals in the Premier League this term, which is the second worst defensive record. They also made unwanted history by becoming the first Premier League side ever to lose their opening four home matches at the start of a new season. 

Brentford vs Burnley Head to Head

Brentford landed a 2-0 win in this exact fixture between the sides in the 2021-22 Premier League season. However, Burnley’s overall record in this fixture is encouraging, as they have picked up three wins from the last four against the Bees, including a 3-1 away win in January 2016. 

Brentford vs Burnley Prediction

This should be a really interesting fixture in the Premier League this weekend. Burnley would have looked at this match before the start of the season, and considered it a golden opportunity to land a victory in a tough run of matches. Their record against the Bees could be a key consideration, and for that reason, we will be siding with the away win.
