Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth Predictions

• Brentford are unbeaten at home this season and have the best home record in the league (W4, D1).
• Bournemouth have lost three of their six away games across all competitions (W1, D2).
• Both teams have scored in each of the Bees last 10 games.

City slayers Bournemouth head to Brentford

Bournemouth pulled off a stunning 2-1 win over Manchester City at Dean Court in the last round of fixtures but could be brought back down to earth at Brentford on Saturday.

The Bees somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in their last outing as they held a 1-0 lead at Fulham going into injury time but lost 2-1, and they will be desperate to bounce back.

Brentford look well placed to record an immediate response as they have been excellent at home this term. Thomas Frank’s side have the best home record in the Premier League with 13 points from five games and a +6 goal difference, while Bournemouth have three defects and just one win in six trips across all competitions.

Brentford have a great record against the Cherries with three wins and no defeats in the last five meetings, and they look well placed to pick up maximum points on Saturday despite the Cherries’ exploits against City last time out.

Expect goals at both ends

This also looks a good fixture for fans of both teams to score bets as there have been goals at both ends in each of Brentford’s last 10 games and they have shipped nine goals in five home games in the league themselves, while both teams have scored in three of Bournemouth’s last five and they score on average exactly one goal-per-game away from home.

A 3-1 home win is the correct score prediction as the Bees have scored at least three goals in three of their last four home league games, while they score on average exactly three goals-per-game at home in the league.

Cases can be made for both Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo in the anytime scorer market and I’m leaning towards the latter as the Cameroonian has scored in all five of Brentford’s league games at the Gtech Community Stadium, while Wissa has scored in four of them.
