This Saturday, table neighbours with contrasting styles face off. Brentford matches often feature plenty of goals, while Bournemouth games frequently see the scoreboard remain stagnant. So, will the upcoming clash be an open affair, or will defensive tactics prevail?
This season, no visiting team has managed to halt Brentford at home: five wins and two draws. They haven't blown any team away, but they have secured two-goal victories. Strikingly, in every match, both teams have found the net. For Brentford, the both teams to score bet has worked in five out of six away fixtures, emphasising their propensity for goal-filled games.
In contrast, Bournemouth have seen at least one team fail to score in five out of their 12 matches, including four games where Bournemouth themselves did not find the net. As for their away form, only in three out of six matches have they scored, typically just a single goal. When Bournemouth netted three, it resulted in a victory (3:2), albeit against Everton, who were not known for their defensive strength early in the season.
Recently, Brentford have held the upper hand in head-to-head encounters: three wins and two draws out of the last five meetings. Notably, in four of these five clashes, they scored at least two goals, suggesting a similar outcome might be on the cards this time.
