Bournemouth travel to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to break a demoralising eight-game winless run.
Andoni Iraola’s side have struggled for defensive solidity recently, conceding late goals in their last few outings. Despite their poor overall form, the Cherries have been incredibly resilient in London, where they are currently unbeaten in eight away league games. They will need that capital-city confidence to overcome a Brentford side they haven’t beaten at this venue since 2005.
Bournemouth team news
Andoni Iraola expects his squad to remain “unchanged” from the group that drew with Burnley. This means Tyler Adams and Veljko Milosavljevic remain sidelined with knee issues, while Ben Doak is out with a hamstring problem. In attack, Antoine Semenyo is the undisputed star.
He has registered 20 goal involvements in the 2025 calendar year, making him the joint-most productive player in the club’s Premier League history over a 12-month period. He is expected to start on the wing, with Evanilson leading the line. In midfield, Lewis Cook and Marcus Tavernier will provide the creative spark, while Ryan Christie could be pushing for a start after a promising cameo last weekend.
Bournemouth predicted Lineup
Bournemouth predicted XI: Petrović; Jiménez, Diakité, Senesi, Truffert; Tavernier, Cook; Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Evanilson
