Brentford have been one of this season’s biggest success stories and all the evidence suggests they should account for Bournemouth.
The Bees are ninth in the Premier League after enjoying a hot streak of late, whereas the 16th-placed Cherries have been in freefall.
We like 15/4 for a home win by exactly two goals as our first Brentford vs Bournemouth prediction.
Brentford suffered a frustrating 1-0 loss to West Ham in the FA Cup but have picked up 10 points out of 12 from their last four league matches.
What makes that tally even more impressive is that the Bees have beaten Manchester City and Liverpool during that period, as well as drawing with Tottenham.
The Bees also caused a buzz by signing Romeo Beckham, the 20-year-old son of former England captain David, on a six-month loan from Inter Miami.
“I think he’s an interesting player,” said Thomas Frank. “We hope, of course, like a lot of players in the B team, that he can make it to the first team. He’s promising.”
More significantly for this match, top scorer Ivan Toney is expected to return from a leg injury which saw him stretchered off in a 2-0 victory at West Ham recently.
Toney has hogged the headlines with a dozen league goals, netting more than once on three occasions.
Looking at the Brentford vs Bournemouth odds, he is 21/10 to outscore the Cherries on his own.
Last Brentford EPL line-up: Raya, Pinnock, Jorgensen, Mee, Henry, Norgaard, Jensen, Janelt, Roerslev, Wissa, Mbeumo.
Defender Aaron Hickey has returned to full training, but midfielders Frank Onyeka and Shandon Baptiste are still sidelined.
Bournemouth have lost seven of their last eight top-flight fixtures and suffered a fifth straight defeat in all competitions when going down 4-2 at home to Burnley in the FA Cup.
Three of the Clarets’ goals came about following blunders from opposition players and Gary O’Neil was not impressed by the individual mishaps.
“The three huge errors for the goals make it impossible to win the football match,” he said. “That is the story of the game. We stood no chance.
“There is a clear understanding of where we are and where we need to get to.
“I’m working hard with the players but it becomes harder when you aren’t winning. There is a process to fix them but there is no magic wand.”
Bournemouth have only picked up five points from nine away games, returning home empty handed from their last four road trips.
The Cherries could be vulnerable in the run-up to half-time, as they are 0-8 in the final third of the opening period in league games, whereas Brentford are 6-3 up in that period.
Bournemouth also conceded twice against Burnley with the interval approaching!
Let’s add 12/5 for the Bees to outscore their opponents between 30:01 minutes and the break to our Brentford vs Bournemouth betting tips.
Last Bournemouth EPL line-up: Travers, Kelly, Mepham, Smith, Senesi, Cook, Lerma, Christie, Anthony, Solanke, Billing.
Bournemouth are missing the suspended Adam Smith. O’Neil, who has been without injured trio Lloyd Kelly, Neto and Marcus Tavernier, says he has a “couple of late calls” to make.
