They have won just 1 of their last 7 away Premier League matches and have seen over 2.5 goals and both teams score in 5 of their 6 most recent away trips in the league.
Looking ahead to the team news and Bournemouth continue without suspended defender Milos Kerkez. Luis Sinisterra, Marcus Tavernier, and Ryan Fredericks are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Tyler Adams and Chris Mepham.
Brentford travel without the injured duo of Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry. There are also doubts over the fitness of Mathias Jensen.
Having endured a poor spell in the Premier League, Brentford have become difficult to beat in recent weeks. Bournemouth have been performing well on home soil and that makes this match tough to predict.
We believe this game could end level, with 1-1 a potential final score.
