Bournemouth vs Brentford: Top Goalscorer, Total Goals, Betting Tips, and More

Bournemouth are set to host Brentford in the EFL Cup second round at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday. They will be aiming to build on their weekend win against Wolves in the Premier League. Andoni Iraola’s side bounced back from a 4-2 loss to Liverpool with a narrow 1-0 home win.

Marcus Tavernier struck early which ultimately sealed the win for them. Bournemouth see cup competitions as a route to Europe after last season’s late drop-off. It then cost them continental qualification. Brentford, under new boss Keith Andrews, suffered a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

However, they then responded with a 1-0 win against Aston Villa, thanks to debutant Dango Ouattara. Bournemouth remain without Enes Unal and Lewis Cook. Meanwhile Brentford miss Ethan Pinnock and Gustavo Nunes. Ouattara is set to face his former club as Igor Thiago leads the Bees’ attack.
