MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: DRAW

 

A staggering Will Vaulks goal from inside his own half sent Brentford into the half-time break trailing against Cardiff in South Wales on Boxing Day, but the London club fell back on their attacking stars once again as a second-half Sergi Canos hat-trick secured the victory. Thomas Frank’s side are unbeaten in 14 league games ahead of the visit of promotion rivals Bournemouth.

Bournemouth sit in third place when they make the short trip to London in midweek after their game against Millwall was called off due to positive COVID-19 tests in the Millwall squad, meaning Swansea climbed up into second. The extra rest will help Jason Tindall’s squad, who have kept five consecutive clean sheets in the league.

Both sides possess serious talent in their squads and could cancel each other out here.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

Brentford won 3-1 when the sides met last in 2015 but lost 1-0 earlier that season.
