My analysis
A small but exciting slate of Premier League games this Saturday is finished off with Bournemouth hosting Brentford. Heading into the weekend, the away team were six points behind Bournemouth and know that a win will take them closer to being back in the top half of the table.
These are two of the Premier League’s smallest teams but they’re also two of the most well-run. Brentford have become the archetype for what a small team entering the Premier League needs to be. They sign lesser-known players from Europe or the lower leagues and then sell them for a profit, putting that money back into the playing squad to keep improving.
It’s something they’ve done excellently over the past couple of years, and it’s a model that Bournemouth have evolved into following. This season we’ve seen Bournemouth hugely surpass expectations with a team built from across Europe, and a number of players have seen their stock rise hugely and will be chased by larger clubs this summer.
On the field, things have gone very differently over recent weeks. Heading into this game, Bournemouth have won just one of their previous five Premier League tilts, with three defeats and a draw against Spurs last time out.
However, we need to consider that before this dip in form they’d gone unbeaten in 11 straight, winning seven of them. Those were results that saw them flying up the Premier League. They head into this game with a relatively short injury list, meaning that their starting lineup should be fresh and healthy and more than ready to match Brentford.
We’ve seen an uptick in Brentford’s form in recent weeks, but despite that, they’ve won just four of their past nine games in the Premier League. While it’s true that they’ve won four straight games on the road, we need to consider the quality of opposition they faced. All four are in the bottom half of the table, with Southampton and Leicester both likely to get relegated. The last time they beat a team in the top half of the Premier League table was a 4-2 win over Newcastle in early December.
Don’t let the recent run of away wins fool you. This isn’t the best version of Brentford we’ve seen in recent years, and Bournemouth have enough quality — as well as an excellent manager in Andoni Iraola — to be able to get the win in front of their home fans.
Bournemouth vs Brentford same-game parlay (SGP)
Bournemouth to winBoth teams to score
Justin Kluivert to score
We have Bournemouth to win but we can expect a Brentford goal. After all, this is a team who have scored 12 goals in their past four road games. Both teams to score has landed in 60.7% of Bournemouth’s games and 64.3% of Brentford’s games.
With Bournemouth conceding in five straight games, we should see goals for both teams here.
Justin Kluivert has had a breakout season for Bournemouth and has now racked up 12 goals in just 23 starts and four sub appearances. He plays across the front three but generally behind the striker and has been lethal this season.
Kluivert is averaging 2.1 shots per game but has really exploded since the turn of the year with seven of his goals coming since January. He scored when these teams met in November and could well do it again.
