Brentford have suffered just one home league defeat this season
The Cherries have not won any of their last eight games
Recommended bet: Brentford to win
Brentford were tipped to struggle this season following manager Thomas Frank’s departure to Tottenham and the loss of strikers Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, but the Bees have steadied the ship and will look to maintain their push for a top-half finish against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Their opponents have had their moments this season, but they have failed to win any of their last eight league games and speculation regarding the future of star midfielder Antoine Semenyo continues to unsettle them.
Team news
Reiss Nelson should be involved for the Bees if he comes through a late fitness test, but Frank Onyeka, Dango Ouattara, Josh DaSilva, Antoni Milambo and Fabio Carvalho are all out.
Midfielder Tyler Adams has joined Matai Akinmboni, Veljko Milosavljevic and Ben Gannon-Doak on the Bournemouth sidelines.
The stats
Bournemouth have failed to register a win in their last eight matches but they have drawn their last three.
The Cherries have won just one of their eight league away games this season.
Manchester City are the only visiting team to have won at the Gtech this term.
Brentford’s last four games have all featured fewer than three goals.
Both teams have scored in eight of Bournemouth’s last ten league away matches.

Prediction
Brentford have surpassed many people’s expectations this season and they should be able to consolidate their position after a disruptive summer in the second half of the Premier League campaign.
They headed into Christmas 12th in the table and they can take another step towards attaining a top-half finish by beating Bournemouth at the Gtech on Saturday.
High-flying Manchester City are the only visiting team to have won there this season as Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have all had to leave with their tail between their legs.
And they seem to be facing Bournemouth at the right time.
The Cherries went eight games unbeaten after giving Liverpool a real scare in a 4-2 Anfield defeat on opening night, but they have hit the skids since, failing to win in their last eight league outings.
Their only away success came at Tottenham against a team who registered just four home victories in 2025, and this could prove to be a difficult occasion for Andoni Iraola's men.
Much of the attention on Bournemouth of late has centred on forward Semenyo's future amid news of a release clause in his contract that has had all the Premier League big guns lining up to capture his signature.
With the visitors distracted, there looks a strong chance Brentford will be able to concentrate on their own game and add three valuable points to their tally.
