Bees and Cherries set for a draw in a big Championship clash
3377

On Wednesday evening, Brentford host Bournemouth at Griffin Park, in a potentially vital game at the top of the Championship. The pair are fourth and third place respectively in the second tier table, so it could be a big clash in the race for promotion to the Premier League table.

Brentford are just one point outside the automatic promotion spots having put together a 14-game unbeaten run in the Championship. Last time out, the Bees recorded a 3-2 win at Cardiff City. The victory means that Thomas Frank’s team has scored at least three goals in three of their last four league outings.

Striker Ivan Toney has scored twice in the last four league games and will be looking to add to his 16 Championship goals this season.

Brentford are unbeaten in their last eight league games at Griffin Park, although five of those eight matches have finished all-square. They have been relatively high-scoring of late on home soil, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four away games.

Bournemouth are ahead of the home team courtesy of goal difference, just a point behind second-place Swansea City. Similarly to their opponents, the Cherries have been on a decent run of form heading into this clash.

A goalless draw at Luton Town last time out made the Cherries five league games unbeaten. The game against the Hatters saw Jason Tindall’s team keep a fifth straight clean sheet in the Championship.

The visitors are unbeaten in five away games in the second tier, although three of their last four matches on their travels have finished all-square.

A big factor in that recent good run of away form has been their defensive record, as the Cherries have kept three straight clean sheets in the second tier on their travels.

Forebet predicts that this big clash at the top of the Championship table will finish in all-square.
