Brentford take on the visitors Bournemouth in the round 4 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 2nd at Brentford Community Stadium (London).
Brentford were one of the standout surprises of the previous Premier League season. The team played excellent football and almost secured a place in European competitions, eventually finishing in ninth place. At the start of the new season, the Bees engaged in a mini-shootout with Tottenham, which ended in a 2-2 draw. They then convincingly defeated Fulham 3-0 away, even though Fulham are not a weak opponent. A 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace in the last match was more of a negative result for Brentford as they couldn't hold onto their lead. In the match against modest Bournemouth, I expect the first home victory for Thomas Frank's team.

Bournemouth's performance in the previous season was one of the worst in the Premier League, and they had a good chance of relegation to the Championship. However, they managed to secure their place in the top division. Bournemouth had a poor away record, suffering 12 defeats in 19 away matches in the championship. In the new season, Bournemouth started reasonably well with a 1-1 draw against West Ham, but it was a home game. Then, as expected, they lost to Liverpool at Anfield (1-3) and to Tottenham at home (0-2). While Brentford might not be on Liverpool's or Tottenham's level, they are more than capable of defeating a team like Bournemouth at home.
The hosts had a much better Premier League season than their opponent last year and have had a better start to the new championship. Brentford's squad is more classy, balanced, and disciplined. If they are considered a solid mid-table team in the Premier League right now, then Bournemouth are a potential candidate for relegation. Considering all these factors, I believe it's safe to bet on a Brentford victory, especially as they will be playing at home. Brentford has won the last three home matches against Bournemouth: 2-1, 3-1, and 2-0. The bet is Home Win.
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win.
