📋 Team News: Bournemouth

We think that The Cherries will possibly employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Djordje Petrovic, Alex Jimenez, James Hill, Marcos Senesi, Adrien Truffert, Tyler Adams, Alex Scott, Rayan, Ryan Christie, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson.

📰 Team News: Brentford

We are inclined to think that The Bees might make use of a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Caoimhin Kelleher, Michael Kayode, K. Vassbakk Ajer, Sepp van den Berg, Rico Henry, Yehor Yarmoliuk, Jordan Henderson, Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that Brentford and Bournemouth could both well score more than once here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw but we do expect to see goals at each end. We’re therefore expecting a very even contest with a 2-2 at the end of the 90 minutes.
