AFC Bournemouth vs Brentford Predictions

• Bournemouth have won three of their last five competitive home games.

Cherries set to build momentum

Brentford got the Keith Andrews era up and running with a deserved win over Aston Villa on Saturday, but they may find the going tougher at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday.

Bournemouth looked impressive going forward in their opener against Liverpool before getting the result their performances deserved against Wolves at the weekend, and they can maintain that momentum into this EFL Cup tie.

Brentford have looked more solid than many expected under the inexperienced Andrews, but Bournemouth – particularly Marcus Tavernier and Antoine Semenyo – have been a huge threat in their opening two games, and they look good value for the home win.

However, the Bees have hit the net in both games so far and should be able to get on the scoresheet, making a 2-1 correct score prediction appealing.
