Brentford - AFC Bournemouth predictions

Brentford have their work cut out for them if they want to beat AFC Bournemouth. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against The Bees on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Brentford fans were quite hopeful during the half-time break in the previous round. The team managed to snatch an early lead against Fulham , who are a considerably stronger team. Brentford couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the second half, however, resulting in a narrow away loss (2:1).

To call The Cherries’s recent victory unexpected would be quite an understatement. Top online bookmakers priced such an outcome at 1.52, which seemed impossible to overcome even with a home-field advantage. However, they were already leading in the first half, ultimately recording a narrow but important win.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, Brentford will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Bournemouth and their strikers are well-regarded by experts and bookies alike – they managed to score more than 5 times in their previous 3 home games.

While they’re in the upper half of the table, the hosts could afford to move up in the standings if they have any ambitions for the season. Easier said than done, though – the match this Saturday could go either way.

Bournemouth are 10th in the standings with 15 points won so far. Such results are rather mediocre, and the season could yet see either a drastic improvement or a slump from them. A win at BrentfordS would be a great way to prove they have what it takes to reach the top positions.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Saturday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.80, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
