Bournemouth
The team hosted Sunderland at the weekend — a side that struggle on the road — but still had to settle for a draw (1:1). Before that, there was another compromise away at West Ham (0:0). Overall, the club are unbeaten in the Premier League for eight matches, recording four wins and four draws. Bournemouth sit in mid-table and are already noticeably adrift of the European places — nine points behind. It is also worth noting that matches involving the team remain the most entertaining in the league, with an average of 3.2 goals scored.

- No more than two goals have been scored in 4 of Bournemouth’s last 5 Premier League matches.
- The team have avoided defeat at home in 13 of their last 15 Premier League games (7 wins and 6 draws).
Potential Bournemouth Lineup (3-2-4-1)*

Forwards Ben Doak and Justin Kluivert, as well as defender Julio Soler and midfielder Lewis Cook, are out injured. Defender Matai Akinmboni is a doubt.
Brentford
The London side were involved in a thriller last round, beating Burnley 4:3 away from home. Interestingly, the team went three goals up during the game, then conceded three in reply, before scoring the winner in the third minute of stoppage time. That result ended a brief winless run in the Premier League, during which the club drew with Arsenal (1:1) and then suffered a surprise defeat to Brighton (0:2). Brentford are currently seventh and still have a chance of even breaking into the top four, while they are only five points off fifth.
- The club have avoided defeat in 10 of their last 12 league matches (7 wins and 3 draws).
- Away from home, Brentford have won 5 of their last 6 Premier League games (1 defeat).
- The team have conceded at least two goals in 8 of their last 10 away Premier League matches.
Potential Brentford Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Hakon Rafn Valdimarsson – Rico Henry, Sepp van den Berg, Kristoffer Ajer, Michael Kayode – Yegor Yarmolyuk, Jordan Henderson – Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Mathias Jensen – Igor Thiago.
Midfielders Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo have been ruled out for the rest of the season. Midfielder Josh Dasilva continues his recovery from injury. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher (personal reasons) and defender Aaron Hickey (knock) are doubts.

Bournemouth vs Brentford: Match Prediction
In this game, we should expect at least three goals. After all, these are teams whose matches average more than three goals. Both score regularly — at home and away — averaging 1.6 goals per game. Only five opponents have a higher scoring rate.
Bournemouth have not gone without scoring at home in their last six league matches. However, the team have also conceded in every one of those games. As for the London side, they have failed to score in only one of their last six away Premier League fixtures — against Chelsea. Their away defence has not inspired confidence either, conceding at least two goals in 8 of their last 10 Premier League matches. We should also note that five of the last six head-to-head meetings in the league have produced three or more goals.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
