Brentford

Brentford's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Bees have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly in their last three Premier League matches, which have seen a total of 18 goals. Notably, their 5-3 victory over Wolves and 4-3 win against Ipswich Town were thrilling encounters, contributing to their impressive average of 2.17 goals scored per game. However, Brentford's defence has been leaky, conceding two goals per game on average and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 matches. The team's propensity for goal-filled matches is further evidenced by the fact that both teams have scored in 100% of their recent games, with 67% of matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, Brentford's attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities have made them an exciting team to watch, with an average of 4.17 total goals per game in their last six outings.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth have shown impressive form in recent weeks, securing three victories in their last five Premier League matches, including notable wins against top-tier opponents Manchester City and Arsenal. The Cherries have displayed resilience, bouncing back from defeats with strong performances, as evidenced by their current two-match unbeaten run. Whilst their goal-scoring record is modest at 1.33 goals per game, their defensive solidity is noteworthy, conceding just 1.17 goals per match. The team's ability to compete with league heavyweights is particularly striking, with their recent 2-1 triumph over Manchester City standing out as a significant result. Bournemouth's current 10th position in the league table, having amassed 15 points from 10 games, reflects their competitive nature this season, with an even split between high-scoring affairs and tighter contests.
