Brentford vs Burnley Predictions

• Brentford have conceded in their last six home games.
• Burnley have lost five of their six away games this season, scoring in five.
• Igor Thiago has five goals in his last five appearances.

Bees set to bounce back

Brentford fell to their sixth defeat of the season at Brighton last weekend, but the Bees should bounce back in style against a Burnley side that struggle on their travels.

Keith Andrews’ side, sitting 13th in the table but just five points off the top four, have won four of their last six fixtures, and their only defeat at the Brentford Community Stadium came against Manchester City.

They have won four of their six league outings here, picking up wins against Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool and taking a point from Chelsea.

Struggling Clarets primed for defeat

Burnley suffered their third successive defeat against Chelsea last time out, and the relegation candidates have lost five of their six away games this season, conceding 18 goals in the process.

Their sole away day success came against rock-bottom Wolves, and a sixth road defeat looks to be on the cards here.

Thiago to shine on Saturday

The Clarets have scored in their last five on the road, though, so they should find the net against a Brentford side without a home clean sheet in six attempts. The hosts have scored exactly three goals in three of these six, including two 3-1 triumphs, so a home win and both teams to score alongside a 3-1 correct score prediction appeals.

Anytime goalscorer punters should consider the in-form Igor Thiago, who has admirably stepped up to the plate following Bryan Mbeumo’s departure. He has scored five goals in his last five appearances to take his tally to ten for the season, and he could strike again on Saturday.
