Mid-table Brentford host relegation threatened Bournemouth at the Community stadium in another round of premier league.

Brentford enters this match off of a 1-0 loss to West Ham United in the FA Cup third round. Brentford extended its unbeaten streak in the Premier League to six games after defeating Liverpool 3-1 the previous time out. The ninth-place team has won three of its past four games in the league.

Bournemouth were defeated 4-2 by Burnley in the FA Cup third round. The Cherries have fallen to 16th place, only one point ahead of Everton, under new manager Gary O’Neil after three straight Premier League losses to Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Manchester United.

Team News

Kevin Schade, a loanee from Freiburg, made his FA Cup debut for Brentford off the bench, and the 21-year-old might now play in his first Premier League match.

Frank Onyeka, Aaron Hickey, and Shandon Baptiste might rejoin the team.

After receiving five yellow cards, Bournemouth defender Adam Smith was given a one-game Premier League suspension.

David Brooks, Neto, Marcus Tavernier, and Junior Stanislas are all confined to the medical area, while Jefferson Lerma, who missed the FA Cup, is expected to be return.

Prediction

Brentford 3-0 Bournemouth

Brentford come into this game in great form, whereas Bournemouth are struggling. Bournemouth’s lack of form and Brentford’s great defence means there is only one team winning this game.
