- Venue: Turf Moor
This weekend, Brentford aims to secure a win against Burnley, one of the relegation favorites, at Turf Moor, which would help them move further away from the relegation zone.
Burnley delighted their fans with their performances in the Championship last season, but haven’t been able to replicate this success in England’s premier competition. The Clarets positioned themselves well to earn their fourth victory of the season last weekend, leading West Ham United by two goals at half-time at the London Stadium. However, West Ham equalised in the second half, resulting in a draw and extending Burnley’s winless run in all competitions to eleven matches.
Despite being three places above the relegation zone, Brentford’s 2023-24 campaign has been disappointing, especially given their top-half finish last season. Ivan Toney’s comeback to the team after a long gambling ban started positively, with Brentford achieving a 3-2 home victory against Forest. However, since that win, they have only managed to secure one more victory, suffered five losses, and had one draw.
Burnley vs Brentford Betting Tips: Brentford to win
Burnley has been struggling with their home games this season. Vincent Kompany’s team has the poorest home record in the league, with only one win out of their fourteen home matches (eleven losses, two ties).
Brentford, similar to their hosts, are also struggling with their form, however, they have performed commendably in their recent games against Burnley. They have emerged victorious in the last two Premier League clashes between the two sides without letting in a goal. I anticipate a similar outcome this weekend.
