FootyMad's prediction ...

Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Brentford, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Brentford Not won in the 2 most recent games.
Bournemouth Previous 2 away games have finished all-square.
