Gtech Community Stadium - Brentford, Middlesex
Brentford, who have won three successive home league games for the first time since May 2023, have scored 18 goals in their six home league matches in 2024-25 so far; it’s their most in the league since 1982-83 in the third tier (also 18).
This is the first time Bournemouth have lost a Premier League game in which they have led twice, while it’s now three defeats in their last four league matches on the road (D1).
Brentford have scored eight goals from throw-ins in the Premier League since their first season in the competition in 2021-22, more than twice as many as any other side.
Brentford are unbeaten in their last seven league games against Bournemouth (W5 D2) since a 1-0 away loss in the Championship in August 2014.
Bournemouth haven’t won an away league game against Brentford since October 2005 in League One (2-0), drawing five and losing four of their nine visits since.
Bournemouth have won just three of their last 22 Premier League away games against London sides (D3 L16), while they’ve conceded at least twice in 17 of those 22 matches.
Brentford have won four of their five Premier League home games this season, drawing the other. No side has picked up more home points in the competition this season so far than the Bees (13, level with Man City), while no side has scored more home goals than Thomas Frank’s side (15, level with Tottenham).
Brentford’s last two Premier League home games have seen them beat Wolves 5-3 and Ipswich 4-3 – no team in English Football League history has won three consecutive home games while conceding 3+ goals each time.
