Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

, KO: 15:00 Nov 9, 2024, Gtech Community Stadium
AFC Bournemouth

Brentford will have to lift themselves up off the canvas when they do battle with Bournemouth at the Gtech Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Thomas Frank’s team looked set to register their first road win of the season on Monday night at Fulham before Harry Wilson bagged a dramatic brace in stoppage time.

That bruising setback coupled with results elsewhere last weekend has seen the Bees drop down to twelfth place in the table.

Back at their capital headquarters this weekend, Brentford will look to bounce back by getting the better of Bournemouth.

Having recently beaten both Arsenal and Man City at home either of a draw at Aston Villa, Andoni Iraola‘s side are developing a reputation as giant killers.

The Cherries are just three points outside of the top four ahead of their trip to West London this weekend.

How the bookies view it: Bees to bounce back 

Brentford, who have won four of their five Premier League home games this season, are 29/20 favourites on Betano.

The points were shared in Bournemouth’s last Premier League away game and the same outcome on Saturday is on offer at 5/2 (Betano), while a Cherries success has been chalked up at 13/8 (Betano).

Head to head: Bees tend to buzz 

Brentford have avoided defeat in each of their previous four Premier League meetings with Bournemouth. It’s also worth noting that the Bees have scored exactly two goals in their last three meetings with Cherries. The hosts are 19/20 on Ladbrokes to land two or more blows on Bournemouth's backline on Saturday.

Players to watch: Mbeumo to make his mark?

A sizeable seven of Bryan Mbeumo’s eight Premier League goals this season have been scored at the Gtech Stadium. The Brentford talisman is even-money (PaddyPower) to either score or assist on Saturday that price holds plenty of appeal.

Bournemouth's club-record signing Evanilson looks like he is beginning to find his feet after scoring in each of his last two Premier League outings. The Brazilian striker is 21/10 with William Hill to make the net bulge against Brentford on Saturday.

Predicted line-ups

As was the case on Monday night, Brentford will again be without injured quartet Aaron Hickey, Gustavo Nunes, Igor Thiago and Josh Dasilva.

Bournemouth’s Alex Scott looks set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, while this game could come too soon for fellow injured duo Kepa Arrizabalaga and Luis Sinisterra. 

Brentford: Flekken; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Damsgaard, Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Wissa, Lewis-Potter

Bournemouth: Travers; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson

Anything else catch the eye?

Christian Norgaard tends to find himself in the thick of the midfield battle, making him an attractive option to commit two or more fouls at 10/11 (PaddyPower)

The Brentford captain has been guilty of at least one offence in seven of his eight top-flight outings this term.

What's more, Norgaard committed two fouls against Fulham last time out, and a repeat here merits support at a shade below evens.
