AFC Bournemouth and Brentford face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth currently sits in 12th place in the standings, having picked up eight points. Bournemouth’s last game came against Newcastle, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Bournemouth scored in the 62nd minute, but they gave up a goal in the 67th minute, and that led to the 1-1 draw. They only had 27 percent of the possession and three shots on target, so they had to feel lucky to even get a point out of it. Joe Rothwell is dealing with an ankle injury, and it’s not expected that he will be able to go in this game. Lloyd Kelly, Ben Pearson, and Ryan Fredericks are all expected to also miss this game.
On the other side of this matchup is Brentford who sits in 9th place in the standings having picked up nine points. Brentford’s last game against Arsenal, and the defense really struggled, giving up three goals and that led to the defeat. Two games ago against Leeds United, Brentford scored five goals and that led to the three-goal defeat. Christian Norgaard and Ethan Pinnock are both dealing with injuries, and they won’t be able to go in this game. In this game, Brentford needs to have the defense to be better.
Brentford’s defense has been awful this season, and it’s not going to get any better in this game. Look for Bournemouth to score two or three goals, and Brentford isn’t going to find enough offense to keep this game close. This is a big game for Bournemouth, and they are going to secure the victory.
