Bournemouth vs Brentford Preview and Team News
Bournemouth Team News
Bournemouth enters this fixture with aspirations of securing European competition next season.
Currently positioned 9th in the Premier League, Bournemouth have 44 points from 28 matches, just three behind fifth-placed Manchester City. However, their recent performance has been inconsistent, as demonstrated by a 2-2 draw against Tottenham, revealing their attacking strengths and defensive weaknesses.

Under coach Andoni Iraola, the English squad have embraced a high-pressing, direct style of play. They lead the league in long passes attempted, aiming to quickly transition from defense to attack. This approach disrupts opponents’ build-up play but can leave them vulnerable to quick counters if the press is bypassed.
Injury concerns persist for manager Iraola. Defender Adam Smith is sidelined with a muscle injury, and center-back Marcos Senesi is nursing a thigh problem, expected to keep him out until early April. Forward Enes Ünal remains unavailable due to an ACL issue, with a projected return at the end of June.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Brentford (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap; Walker-Peters, Fernandes; Ugochukwu, Smallbone, Sulemana; Onuachu.
Brentford Team News
Brentford FC are 12th in the PL standings after amassing 38 points from 28 games. They’ve showcased resilience, particularly in their attacking endeavors, but defensive inconsistencies have been a concern.
The club recently suffered a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa, even after dominating possession, especially in the second half, and applying sustained pressure. They created several scoring opportunities through Kevin Schade and Keane Lewis-Potter. However, efforts were stymied by the Villans’ goalkeeper, Robin Olsen, who delivered crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet.
“Michael Kayode has a minor knee injury, I expect him to be ready for Newcastle. Fabio Carvalho is a longer one, a quick and good recovery could keep the return to play time down to the end of the season”

Set pieces have become a significant aspect of Brentford’s offensive arsenal. The appointment of set-piece coach Keith Andrews has led to the development of intricate routines, mainly focusing on long throw-ins.
These tactics involve strategic positioning of aerially strong players and coordinated movements to exploit defensive weaknesses. Results are increased goal-scoring opportunities from throw-in situations.

Furthermore, the midfield dynamism introduced by Mikkel Damsgaard has been pivotal. His ability to deliver incisive passes and maintain possession under pressure has bolstered Brentford’s control in matches. This reflects Thomas Frank’s intent to “add layers” to the team’s tactical approach.
Brentford are currently contending with a series of injuries that may influence their tactical approach. Gustavo Nunes, Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Sepp van den Berg, Rico Henry, and Igor Thiago are all sidelined.
Brentford predicted lineup vs Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter; Janelt, Norgaard; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa.
