Team News

Brentford
Bournemouth
  • Josh Dasilva and Shandon Baptiste miss out through injury, while Thomas Strakosha and Mikkel Damsgaard also missed the penalty shootout win in the cup over Newport and are doubts.
  • Ben Mee was able to return in the week and will vie for a start at the back, with Thomas potentially reverting to a back three.
  • Kevin Schade would likely lose his place if that were the case but after scoring a terrific first goal for the club against Palace the young German will hope to start for a fourth match running.
  • Andoni Iraola is still without new signings Tyler Adams and Alex Scott through injury, with a total of seven players still sidelined for the Cherries.
  • The visitors did earn a first win of the season in the cup at Swansea, with David Brooks and Hamed Traore hoping goals in that one are enough to see them retain a place in the side.

Prediction

  • Brentford have made a strong start to life without Ivan Toney and will see this as a great chance to not only extend their unbeaten run but climb the table having won each of their last 4 home league meetings with Bournemouth.
  • The away side are looking for their first league win under Iraola following a tough start to the campaign but have shown bright moments in matches as they look to follow the Spaniards high pressing demands.
  • With the hosts so strong on the counter, however, Bournemouth's new tactical approach could be exposed once again in what should be an entertaining game.
