Bournemouth vs. Brentford EPL Preview
Cherries Yet to Hit Form Under Rose
Bournemouth will aim to end their winless start to the Premier League season at the Vitality Stadium this weekend. The Cherries have failed to win in three EPL fixtures, and they have thrown away leads in all encounters.
Last weekend, Bournemouth led 2-0 at Newcastle, before sitting deeper and deeper to hand the advantage to the Magpies. The Cherries at least bounced back to form in midweek, storming to a 4-0 success against Lincoln City in the EFL Cup. Ryan Christie was in inspired form with a hat-trick.
Meanwhile, Marcus Tavernier has scored twice in four EPL outings. Marco Rose will be without injured stars Julian Araujo, Amine Adli, and Junior Kroupi this weekend.
Likely Lineup:
(4-2-3-1) Petrovic (GK); Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Scott, Adams; Rayan, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
Bees Thriving Offensively at Start of New Season
Brentford outperformed the odds last season, and there is every chance that Keith Andrews’ side could once again mount a serious European challenge in 2026-27.
The Bees have avoided defeat in all four of their competitive outings this term, but they come into this round following back-to-back draws against Leeds and Sunderland. Their offensive qualities should be respected, as Brentford have already scored eleven goals in all competitions this season. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous three.
Vitaly Janelt has had an unlikely scoring output thus far, with the midfielder scoring twice in three EPL appearances. Andrews will be without key defenders Sepp van den Berg and Nathan Collins this Saturday. Meanwhile, Mathias Jensen is unlikely to be fit enough to return.
Likely Lineup:
(4-2-3-1) Kelleher (GK); Kayode, Ajer, Schuster, Diouf; Sangare, Janelt; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago
Head-to-Head Stats
- Brentford have avoided defeat in their last ten against Bournemouth, winning five of the previous six in all competitions.
- Bournemouth have taken one EPL point from their previous five against the Bees.
- Over 1.5 goals have been scored in seven of the last eight head-to-heads.
Bournemouth vs. Brentford EPL Picks
Bournemouth’s inability to keep clean sheets is a notable concern this week, having thrown away nine points from winning positions already this term. Brentford’s head-to-head domination creates a notable betting angle, and we could foresee the Bees maintaining their excellent form at the start of the new season with a victory at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth vs. Brentford Props Picks
Based on the attacking strengths of these two sides, BTTS looks like an obvious angle to include when making props picks. This has been a winning selection in five of the last six EPL head-to-heads. Kevin Schade could also provide value for a scoring angle. The German winger has scored once in three appearances this term, and he boasts an impressive 43% shot accuracy rate.
