Bournemouth vs Brentford: Preview, predictions and lineups

• Brentford make the trip to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday
• Cherries still chasing European qualification come season’s conclusion
• Bees with little to play for between now and campaign’s end

Bournemouth are aiming to end their three-game Premier League winless streak and boost their European hopes when they host Brentford on Saturday.

The Cherries have stumbled in their bid to secure continental football next season. Were left frustrated last weekend as they surrendered a two-goal lead at Tottenham Hotspur, force to accept a draw that leaves them in ninth. However, victory on Saturday could see Bournemouth rise as high as sixth and offer a timely confidence boost.

Brentford seemingly have little on the line between now and the end of the season. The Bees will hard pushed to make the European spots. But have no fears over dropping into a relegation battle. Such circumstances will either see them take their foot off the gas or entertain with the handbrake off.
