Brentford faces Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, aiming for back-to-back Premier League wins for only the second time this season.
The Bees recently secured a 2-0 victory over Wolves and are keen to end 2025 with a home win. This matchup has traditionally favored Brentford, who are unbeaten in their last six league matches against Bournemouth, winning four of them. With strong home performance among the lower-ranked teams, they are favorites to earn all three points.
Brentford team news
Manager Keith Andrews has stated that Reiss Nelson has returned to full training and could be available, though he might start on the bench due to Keane Lewis-Potter’s recent good form, having scored both goals against Wolves.
In midfield, Brentford will be without Frank Onyeka, who is at AFCON, while Josh Dasilva is a long-term injury absence. This will likely see Mathias Jensen, Vitaly Janelt, and Yehor Yarmolyuk as the midfield trio. Up front, Igor Thiago is anticipated to keep his spot despite not scoring in the last four games. The defensive lineup is also affected by AFCON, as Dango Ouattara is away representing Burkina Faso.
