Brentford vs Bournemouth: A Battle of the Newcomers
The Premier League is back in action this weekend, with newly promoted Brentford hosting fellow newcomers Bournemouth at the Gtech Community Stadium. Both teams have had a solid start to their Premier League campaigns, with Brentford sitting in 10th place and Bournemouth in 11th.
Brentford comes into the match off the back of a 3-2 win over Manchester United, while Bournemouth drew 1-1 with Fulham. Brentford has been one of the surprise packages of the season so far, with their high-energy style of play catching the eye of many. Bournemouth, meanwhile, has shown that they are no pushovers, and they will be looking to cause an upset at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The match is likely to be a close one, with both teams evenly matched. Brentford will be looking to use their home advantage to their advantage, while Bournemouth will be hoping to continue their good form on the road.
Key Players
Brentford: Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney
Bournemouth: Dominic Solanke, Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore
Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think Brentford will edge it. They have been in better form recently, and they have the home advantage. Bournemouth is a dangerous team, though, so they will need to be careful.
