Brentford are buzzing as they head into the business end of the season but their European ambitions will face a tough examination on the road against AFC Bournemouth.
Keith Andrews's side sit seventh in the Premier League with just 10 games to go and have a chance of qualifying for Europe for the first time.
Lady luck smiled on Brentford at the weekend as VAR ruled out two Burnley goals in a seven-goal thriller.
I backed Burnley in the double chance that day so I was far from amused when Ashley Barnes's last-gasp leveller was chalked off for a debatable handball.
Andrews would have heaved a sigh of relief at full-time as it looked like his side had thrown victory away after leading 3-0 in the first half.
They now head south to take on a Bournemouth side who sit just three places and four points behind them in the table.
The Cherries could only draw 1-1 at home to Sunderland at the weekend but they're now unbeaten in eight Premier League games and will fancy their chances in this one.
How the bookies view it: Bournemouth by a nose
This is a tricky one to call with both sides in good form but Bournemouth are slight favourites at 7/5 with Paddy Power. Brentford are 15/8 with most firms while the draw pays 13/5 at BetMGM.
Recent head to head: Game's a bogey for Cherries
Brentford have dominated this fixture of late, winning the last five meetings and going unbeaten across the last nine. They won 2-0 in August away to Bournemouth in the EFL Cup.
Players to watch: Rayan of sunshine
Brazilian kid Rayan looks like another shrewd signing for Bournemouth, with the forward making a big impact in recent weeks. He's 11/10 with Bet365 for a goal or an assist here.
Igor Thiago scored at the weekend for Brentford and that took his tally for the season to 19. The Brazilian is 5/4 with Unibet to smash the 20-goal barrier in this game.

Probable line-ups
Evanilson is a doubt for Bournemouth after going off late on in the draw with Sunderland. Ben Gannon-Doak, Matai Akinmboni, Justin Kluivert, Julio Soler and Lewis Cook remain sidelined.
Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva, Antoni Milambo and Fabio Carvalho look set to miss out again for Brentford.
AFC Bournemouth: Petrovic, Truffert, Senesi, Jimenez, Hill, Christie, Scott, Adams, Tavernier, Rayan, Kroupi.
Brentford: Kelleher, Henry, Van den Berg, Ajer, Kayode, Schade, Jensen, Henderson, Ouattara, Damsgaard, Thiago.
Anything else catch the eye?
These teams are well matched so I'm expecting a close game and the half-time draw appeals at 7/5 with Unibet.
Given Brentford's recent record in this fixture, there could be some value in backing them to win either half at 10/11 with 888Sport.
We saw 17 corners when these teams last faced off and 15 of them went to Bournemouth, even though they lost that game 4-1.
That suggests over 10 flag kicks stand a chance at 10/11 with Bet365, while Bournemouth -1 in the corner handicap pays evens with the same firm.
