Over their last six league encounters, the hosts have recorded three wins and three draws, showcasing a resilient but sometimes draw-heavy recent form, placing them fifth in the form table for the last six games.
Brentford, meanwhile, secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over Burnley in their most recent league match, bouncing back from a previous loss. The visitors have been in decent form themselves, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six matches across all competitions. This strong run sees them ranked seventh in the league's form table over the same period. Notably, Brentford have scored at least two goals in their last seven matches against Bournemouth in all competitions.

Bournemouth vs Brentford Team News
Bournemouth face several injury concerns ahead of the match. Akinmboni, Gannon-Doak, Soler, and Kluivert are all sidelined with injuries. Forward Evanilson is also a doubt after picking up a knock against Sunderland and will be assessed closer to kick-off. Soler, in particular, is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Brentford have fewer major worries, though they will be hoping Caoimhin Kelleher is available after missing their last game due to personal reasons. Vitaly Janelt is expected to be out for a few weeks with an injury, and Aaron Hickey continues to struggle with an issue sustained recently. Mikkel Damsgaard is set to retain his place after an impressive double in the last match.

Bournemouth vs Brentford Match Prediction
AFC Bournemouth are on an eight-match Premier League unbeaten run, but they’ve often struggled against Brentford FC, who arrive in good form. Bournemouth are dangerous on the counter and create plenty of shots, but can be vulnerable to through balls, set pieces, and quick attacks.
Brentford are strong in finishing chances, aerial duels, and defending dead-ball situations. With five straight wins over Bournemouth and four away wins in 2026 without a draw on the road, the visitors look slightly sharper. Expect Brentford to edge a tight game.
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Brentford
