Burnley
- Burnley have been toiling in 19th place in the Premier League with just 19 points from 27 games, struggling to escape the relegation zone.
- Scott Parker’s Clarets look to have turned a corner in their last couple of games, recording a 2-3 away win at Crystal Palace before grinding out a 1-1 draw at Chelsea in midweek.
Brentford
- Brentford are flying high in seventh spot with 40 points from the same number of games in the table.
- Brentford have won their last two away games, including a 3-2 win at Newcastle United, and are on course for a European finish.
- A 1-1 draw at Arsenal was followed by a disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Brighton, so they will be glad to get back on the road again on Saturday.
Head-to-Head
- Burnley have only won twice at home all season in the Premier League, with four draws and seven defeats in 13 games at Turf Moor.
- They average just 0.92 goals per game at Turf Moor in the Premier League, while they concede 1.46 on average.
- The Clarets haven’t lost to Brentford in their last meeting, but given the Bees’ excellent away form they are the clear favorites at 1.74, with Burnley outsiders at 4.45.
Key Players
- Igor Thiago has scored 17 goals in 27 Premier League appearances, more than any other member of this Brentford side.
- Jaidon Anthony, who tops the Clarets’ goalscoring charts in the league with six from 26 appearances, is a big part of that.
- Dango Ouattara has been a real spark for the Bees, scoring two in his last five.
Betting Insights
- Brentford are the clear favorites at 1.74, with Burnley outsiders at 4.45.
- An away win with over 2.5 goals looks a good way to get some additional value from backing the visitors at 1.74.
- The visitors average 1.69 goals per away game in the Premier League but have conceded 22 goals.
- An away win with a 2-1 score is an enticing exact score bet.
Prediction
- The Bees should win this game with the way they have been playing, although Burnley are in much better shape than they were a couple of months ago when Brentford won 3-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium.
- Backing an away win with over 2.5 goals (and a possible 2-1 exact score) offers extra value.
