Competition: Championship
Market: Bournemouth win
Odds: 7/5 @ 888sport
In a real battle at the top of the Championship table, Bournemouth will host Brentford from behind closed doors on Saturday lunchtime.
Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a stellar purple patch, Bournemouth have their sights set on securing an immediate Premier League return this year. In their 43 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded 22 wins, 11 draws and 10 defeats, scoring 73 and conceding 42 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 77, The Cherries open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table and holding a commanding nine-point buffer from dropping out of the top-six. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a thumping 4-1 win away at Millwall, Bournemouth have won each of their last seven Championship contests on the spin, scoring over 1.5 goals in each of those victories. It’s also worth highlighting that Saturday’s hosts have won each of their previous three home fixtures, recording 10 strikes.
As for the visitors, while Brentford might also find themselves sat in pole position to secure a play-off spot, they are still struggling to pick up maximum points. In their 42 Championship contests so far this season, they have recorded 20 wins, 15 draws and seven defeats, scoring 72 and conceding 41 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 75, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fifth in the table and two points adrift of Saturday’s hosts. As for their recent run of results, last seen having to settle for a 1-1 draw against Cardiff, Brentford have remarkably played out a stalemate in six of their last seven Championship contests. Also, winning just a pair of their last seven second-tier matchups on their travels, we’re backing a home victory for a high-flying Bournemouth this week.
