There is not a vast number of games to look forward to in the English Premier League on Saturday the 12th of March but one fixture of huge importance will take place at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Brentford meet Burnley in game of significance at the bottom, with the hosts starting the week 15th on 27 points and the visitors 18th on 21 points.
Brentford come into the match on the back of a huge 3-1 win at Norwich City last weekend. The Bees opened the scoring in the 32nd minute and doubled their advantage shortly after half-time.
Brentford led 3-0 for the final 30 minutes until Norwich City scored a consolation goal at the end.
That was the first win in 10 games in all competitions for Brentford. They had failed to win any of their previous 8 Premier League fixtures, with 7 defeats coming at Southampton, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal plus at home to Manchester United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Newcastle United.
Home form in the Premier League shows Brentford have failed to win any of their last 4 matches at the Brentford Community Stadium. Trends show they have failed to score in their 2 most recent home league games and have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 7.
Burnley make the trip to the Brentford Community Stadium having lost 4-0 at home to Chelsea in the Premier League last time out.
It was a disappointing result for Burnley, especially coming on the back of the 2-0 loss at home to Leicester City. The score was 0-0 at half-time but Chelsea came out in the second half and took the game to Burnley, scoring 4 unanswered goals.
That result means Burnley have failed to win any of their last 3 Premier League fixtures. In fact, they have recorded only 2 wins from their 17 most recent games in all competitions and 2 of their last 16 in the Premier League.
However, Burnley are undefeated in their last 3 away Premier League matches. They have beat Brighton and Hove Albion 3-0 and picked up a point at Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
Burnley have scored at least 1 goal in 4 of their last 5 away Premier League matches and have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 on the road.
Team news and Brentford are without suspended midfielder Joshua Dasilva. Tariqe Fosu and Julian Jeanvier are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Christian Nørgaard.
Burnley are expected to be without the injured quartet of Dale Stephens, Erik Pieters, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, and Matej Vydra. Ben Mee is a doubt due to a knee injury.
Despite the recent win at Norwich, a look at the home and away form of the two teams suggests this is going to be a tough assignment for Brentford. Burnley have been picking up points on the road and could come away with another 3 from this game, winning to nil.
