Match preview
Bournemouth welcome Brentford to the Vitality Stadium for a Premier League Gameweek 4 clash between two sides with plenty to prove. The Cherries will be looking to turn promising performances into points, while Brentford arrive with confidence after an impressive start to the season.
Recent form
Bournemouth began the campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, despite taking the lead through Marcus Tavernier. Brentford enjoyed a far more emphatic opening, sweeping aside Tottenham 3-0 with goals from Keane Lewis-Potter, Vitaly Janelt and Michael Kayode. With both sides looking to establish momentum early in the Premier League season, this could be a closely fought contest.
Head-to-head
Recent history strongly favours Brentford. The Bees have won four of the last seven Premier League meetings, with Bournemouth winning none, while the other three ended in draws. The most recent meeting at the Vitality Stadium finished 0-0 in March 2026, but Brentford won 4-1 in the reverse fixture earlier that season.
