Bournemouth vs Brentford

Bournemouth recently secured a comfortable win in the League Cup after a sequence of league draws against Everton and Newcastle. Their home form has been consistent, with no defeats in their five most recent matches on their own pitch. Brentford, meanwhile, have remained unbeaten in their six most recent matches across all competitions. While they have drawn their two most recent league outings, they had previously enjoyed a strong run of victories in both league and cup play.

History in this fixture leans significantly toward the visitors. Brentford have claimed victory in three of the four most recent meetings, with the only other encounter ending in a goalless draw.

• Bournemouth are without A. Adli, E. J. Kroupi, J. Araujo, and V. Milosavljevic due to injury.
• Brentford have three players ruled out through injury and two others listed as in doubt.
• Bournemouth have remained unbeaten in their last five home matches.

Brentford appear to be in the better form coming into this fixture, backed by a strong recent record against Bournemouth. While the hosts have been difficult to beat at home, the visitors have shown more consistent attacking output lately and look well placed to challenge for points.
