Bournemouth vs Brentford: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Starting Lineups

Bournemouth vs Brentford predicted formations

Bournemouth host Brentford at Vitality Stadium on Saturday, September 12 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).

Bournemouth will again be without the sidelined Julian Araujo, Eli Kroupi, Amine Adli and Veljko Milosavljevic — thigh, ankle/foot, calf/shin/heel and knee issues respectively — leaving Marcus Tavernier and Alex Scott to lead the line with Justin Kluivert offering width in behind them. Brentford check on doubtful Nathan Collins and are also missing Joshua Dasilva, Antoni Milambo, Sepp van den Berg and Mathias Jensen, so Vitaly Janelt and Kevin Schade carry the main goal threat with Keane Lewis-Potter supplying the chances behind them.

Bournemouth have 2 points from 3 games and a goal difference of -1, while Brentford have 5 points from 3 without defeat and a difference of +3 — numbers that point to a cagey afternoon rather than an end-to-end shootout at Vitality Stadium. Both sides have leaned on draws to build their record so far, and with the attacking players carrying most of the sting on show, a single moment of quality looks more likely than a flurry of goals at either end.

US viewers can watch Bournemouth vs Brentford on NBC and Peacock.
