Burnley come into the match on the back of a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup on Wednesday night. Spurs scored the only goal of the game in the 68th minute and it was a disappointing result for Burnley who played a strong starting XI.
The defeat to spurs means Burnley have failed to win any of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions and their only victory in their last 9 matches in all competitions came at home against Rochdale in the League Cup.
Trends show Burnley have failed to win any of their 12 most recent games in the Premier League. All 4 of their points this season have come courtesy of draws, including their previous Premier League game away against Southampton, which ended 2-2.
In their last 24 games in the Premier League, Burnley have recorded only 3 wins and they need to start picking up victories soon if they are to avoid a relegation battle this season. In their 3 most recent home matches in the Premier League, Burnley have seen under 2.5 goals scored.
Brentford travel north having progressed to the quarter final of the League Cup on Wednesday night. The Bees defeated Stoke City 2-1 away from home, opening a 2-0 lead in the first half and holding on in the second period despite conceding a goal in the 57th minute.
That victory came on the back of two defeats in the Premier League, one of which was at home against Leicester City last weekend and the other was also at home, against Chelsea.
Trends show Brentford have been difficult to beat in recent months and there are no losses for Brentford in 23 of their most recent 27 games in all competitions.
They are undefeated in their last 4 away Premier League fixtures, picking up wins at Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United plus draws at Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
Brentford have scored at least one goal in each of their last 3 away Premier League matches.
Team news and Burnley will be without the injured Dale Stephens. Ben Mee returned to central defence in the League Cup on Wednesday and should keep his place in the team for this game.
Brentford have a significant injury list including Yoane Wissa, Vitaly Janelt, Shandon Baptiste, Mads Bech Sörensen, and Joshua Dasilva. Bryan Mbeumo and Ethan Pinnock are doubts.
Burnley are still searching for their first Premier League win of the season but will find it tough going against a good Brentford team. We expect to see under 2.5 goals scored in this game and a draw is a distinct possibility.
