BRENTFORD VS BOURNEMOUTH
After three games of the new Premier League season there are six teams still unbeaten in the division, one of those being Brentford. However, Brentford’s unbeaten start is a little different to the rest. The Bees opened their third Premier League campaign with a 2-2 draw against Tottenham and then won their second London derby, beating Fulham 3-0. However, the third London derby of the season ended level as Brentford were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace. So, it’s two draws and one win from three, with Brentford currently ninth. They also needed penalties to beat Newport County in the EFL Cup.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, are one of five sides still chasing their first victory of the Premier League season. The Cherries are the highest-ranked of the winless bunch, owing to their one point, picked up on the opening weekend. Following on from their 1-1 draw against West Ham, Bournemouth have lost to Liverpool and Tottenham, obviously falling to a tough fixture list. There was a victory in midweek through, but Bournemouth did need an injury-time winner to beat Swansea 3-2.

Bryan Mbeumo to score anytime @ 5/4 with Betway
With Ivan Toney suspended until the new year, Bryan Mbeumo has been the man to step up and help supply the goals. Mbeumo has scored three goals in Brentford’s opening three matches, though he did draw a blank last time out. Nevertheless, Mbeumo has been directly involved in eight goals in his last six Premier League appearances, scoring six and providing two assists.
