This Saturday, Bournemouth will face Brentford at Vitality Stadium in a match where neither team has much at stake for the season’s end. Bournemouth, looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat against Arsenal, are considered the favorites to win against Brentford on their home turf. Despite their loss at Emirates Stadium, Bournemouth displayed commendable performance, which suggests a potential home victory. However, they face lineup challenges as Marcus Tavernier may miss the game due to injury concerns, and Milos Kerkez is out due to suspension. Meanwhile, Turkish striker Enes Unal could be likely to feature from the start.
Brentford comes into the match after a goalless draw against Fulham in their recent local derby. With a record of 12 away losses this season, Brentford seems vulnerable on the road, which tilts the prediction towards a Bournemouth victory in this encounter. The Bees will also be without Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry, both of whom are recovering from injuries.
The game is predicted to end with a 2-1 victory for Bournemouth.
