Brentford vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting tips
Before the turn of the year, the 22nd game day of the English Championship is on the agenda. The first half of the season is not even over and a real monster program awaits the players in spring 2021. The penultimate championship game in 2020 is an absolute top game. The two aspirants for promotion Brentford and Bournemouth face each other.
The “Bees” missed the first Premier League promotion in the play-off final against city rivals Fulham, while Bournemouth had to accept relegation after five years in the House of Lords. Promotion is the big goal for both teams and the conclusion in autumn 2020 is positive on both sides. With 38 points each, the gap to the direct promotion place is only one point.
Brentford :
Postponed is not canceled is the motto for the team from London. Even after missing the first promotion, the club does not change its philosophy and continues to trust the numbers completely. Based on the well-known baseball principle from the film “Moneyball”, the Brentford actors are only obliged to use statistics. But it’s about much more than just goals or assists. The figures are extensive and this exciting philosophy is bearing fruit.
Again and again, the club engages relatively unknown actors who – surprisingly for many experts – strike and make a name for themselves. The best example is the current top scorer Ivan Toney, who came from third-tier League One and has already scored 16 goals this season. The top scorer is also one of the main reasons for the strong autumn.
After a weak start (three defeats in the first seven games), the team of head coach Thomas Frank has not lost a game since the 2: 3 against Stoke City on October 24th. Since one English week follows the next in the English championship, the aspirant has not lost in 14 league games.
Only the (too) many draws (eight in number) are a bit of a thorn in the side and currently prevent a direct promotion. Since Bournemouth also ended eight games with a draw, a prognosis for a point-sharing in the top game between Brentford and Bournemouth should be considered.
The very young team – only right-back Henrik Dalsgaard falls into the over 30s category – is not only at its best in the league, but also in the often unpopular League Cup (EFL Cup). The second division is already in the semi-finals and was able to defeat four (!) Premier League teams on the way.
Two days before Christmas, Newcastle United were eliminated 1-0. Not only is it allowed to dream of the Premier League, but even the Europa League is only two wins away.
Bournemouth :
After almost eight years in office, the second term of office of successful coach Eddie Howe ended. The 43-year-old shaped the past decade at Bournemouth AFC and led the club to the club’s greatest successes. From no man’s land, he established the club in the Premier League for four years before relegating it to cope. Another veteran was chosen as his successor with the mission of resurgence. Howe’s previous assistant coach and longtime friend Jason Tindall took over as head coach.
Often times, a Premier League relegated championship lands on the hard ground of reality and has nothing to do with promotion. The example of AFC Sunderland has shown in the recent past that even handing through the Premier League in League One is a possible scenario.
Although Tindall has no previous experience as a head coach, he delivered strong results with his newly formed team from the start.
Without exception, AFC Bournemouth ranked in a top five place in the championship this season. Ten wins stand against eight draws and two defeats, compared to Brentford, the Cherries still have a catch-up game up their sleeve, as the game against Millwall was postponed last weekend.
In the last five league games, veteran Asmir Begovic had not conceded a single goal (10-0 goal difference). In general, Bournemouth have the second best defense in the league with just 16 goals conceded. Although both teams have a strong offensive, the defensive rows are likely to dominate the game.
