Brentford, Recent FormBrentford had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 15 shots on goal.
Their boss Thomas Frank has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 4 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 15 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at The Gtech Community Stadium.
There will be mixed feelings from The Bees, although undefeated in their last 6 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Brentford, Bryan Mbeumo will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Bournemouth, Recent FormWith Tottenham Hotspur sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Bournemouth won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Tottenham Hotspur's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Andoni Iraola where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 10 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Marcus Tavernier has given the travelling Bournemouth support something to shout about on the road.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-0 win for Brentford.
On each of the last 3 outings between Bournemouth and Brentford in the league, The Cherries have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. In their past 5 meetings, The Bees' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Bournemouth will have to take their chances when they come. Playing at home, Brentford have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Bournemouth.
Playing at home, Brentford have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 8 times they have faced Bournemouth in the league.
With only Josh Dasilva (Hamstring) and Ben Mee (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Thomas Frank will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Andoni Iraola has a number of injury concerns in his Bournemouth squad to contend with: Tyler Adams (Hamstring), Lewis Cook (Hip), Ryan Fredericks (Calf), Dango Ouattara (Ankle), Alex Scott (Knee), Adam Smith (Muscle) and Marcus Tavernier (Knock)
