Both teams have already let leads slip: Bournemouth vs Brentford prediction
The Premier League fourth-round match between Bournemouth and Brentford will take place on 12 September at the Vitality Stadium. The hosts are still without a league victory, while the visitors remain unbeaten after the opening three rounds.
Bournemouth: took the lead three times but still failed to win
Marco Rose's side began the season with a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City before drawing 1-1 with Everton and 2-2 with Newcastle. Bournemouth took the lead in all three matches but failed to hold on to their advantage on each occasion.
The team showed considerable improvement in the League Cup on Tuesday, thrashing Lincoln 4-0 as Ryan Christie scored a hat-trick. However, Bournemouth have still never beaten Brentford in the Premier League.
Brentford: unbeaten but with two consecutive draws
Brentford opened the league campaign with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Tottenham before drawing 1-1 with both Leeds and Sunderland. They took the lead in both drawn matches but were unable to preserve their advantage.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches against Bournemouth, winning eight of them. Last season, Brentford collected four points from the two head-to-head meetings, including a convincing 4-1 home victory.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Bournemouth have not won any of their eight Premier League matches against Brentford.
- Brentford are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches against Bournemouth.
- Both teams have already surrendered a winning position twice this season.
The teams could share the points again: Bournemouth vs Brentford prediction
Both teams are dangerous going forward but have been inconsistent once taking the lead. Bournemouth improved in their latest cup match, but Brentford remain an extremely difficult opponent for them.
On current form, there appears to be very little between the two sides. An open match looks likely, with neither team managing to hold on to an advantage.
