Stat Attack
- Brentford have won two of four previous Premier League meetings against Burnley (W2, L2).
- Burnley have lost their two previous Premier League visits to Brentford (L2).
- Brentford are yet to concede at home to Burnley in the Premier League, having won 2-0 in March 2022 then 3-0 in October 2023.
- Five of Igor Thiago’s nine league goals for Brentford so far this season were scored at home.
- Burnley have lost two of their last three matches by 2-0 results.
Prediction
Having been narrowly outplayed in their defeat at Brighton with a lack of clinical end product in open play amidst some solid defending until the Seagulls forced two late goals, Brentford now just need to reset because this is a winnable game given their stronger quality.
Burnley meanwhile were never realistically going to beat Chelsea but they did at least mount a solid effort when got on the attack, whilst defensively forcing the Blues to open them up for their two goals which will give them some confidence going into this game.
If Burnley can continue that defensive quality but find a better final touch, I can see them nicking a point but Brentford with their attacking quality should really win this.
Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Burnley
Result: Brentford 3-1 Burnley
