Bournemouth vs Brentford predictions: Premier League tips & 13/1 Bet Builder

Two teams who featured prominently in last season's European race lock horns at the Vitality Stadium, as Bournemouth look to pick up their first Premier League win under Marco Rose when they welcome Brentford to the south coast.

Remarkably, Bournemouth haven't won any of the previous 10 meetings with the Bees, losing four of the last five encounters in the league, but the hosts have still been priced as narrow favourites ahead of this weekend's clash, with the Cherries suffering just one league defeat since January.

Below, you can see how our experts think the game will unfold with a detailed Bournemouth vs Brentford betting preview, featuring predictions, Bet Builder tips, and live odds.

Bournemouth vs Brentford Bet Builder

Ladbrokes share their Bournemouth vs Brentford Bet Builder, which is coming in at 13/1 at the time of writing.

• Leg 1 - Marcus Tavernier 1+ shots on target

• Leg 2 - Kevin Schade 1+ shots on target

• Leg 3 - Alex Scott to be shown a card

• Leg 4 - Brentford to win or draw

Marcus Tavernier 1+ shots on target

Two goals in Bournemouth's opening three Premier League games have seen Marcus Tavernier emerge as a real threat for Marco Rose's men, and we're tipping him to test Caoimhin Kelleher in the Brentford goal this weekend. Tavernier is averaging more than 1.5 shots on target per 90 this season, with four coming against Newcastle last week, so in a season where he looks primed to break double figures for the first time, we're tipping 1+ SOT for the Englishman here.

Kevin Schade 1+ shots on target

At the other end, Kevin Schade will likely operate just off the left for Keith Andrews' visitors, and having scored a hat-trick against the Cherries last year, the German will be raring to go at the Vitality. Schade is averaging just over a shot on target per 90 in the league this season, and already has an away goal to his name after bagging at Elland Road, so in a fixture that so often goes the way of the Bees, our experts are backing him to try his luck on Saturday.

Alex Scott to be shown a card

With one goal, one booking, and one Man-of-the-Match display for Alex Scott, we've already seen the full range from the Englishman this season, and he's our pick to collect a yellow card here - on what could be a frustrating afternoon for the hosts. Scott is committing just over a foul per 90 on average in 2026/27, and is winning almost 2.5 tackles per 90 at the same time, so with the 23-year-old so often bringing the bite to the Bournemouth midfield, we can see him overstepping the mark.

Brentford to win or draw

With seven wins and three draws from the last 10 meetings between these two sides, history certainly favours Brentford ahead of kick-off at the Vitality, and with such a resounding record, we're tipping the visitors to either win or draw once again. Bournemouth had the last laugh last season, pipping the Bees to qualify for Europe for the very first time, but with the Cherries still hunting for their first win of the campaign - and Brentford arriving undefeated - we've backed Keith Andrews' side in the Double Chance market.
