Bournemouth v Brentford promises to be a high-tempo contest
Vitality Stadium hosts the opening fixture of Matchweek 4, with two teams who prefer to play on the front foot. Bournemouth press high and win the ball back quickly, while Brentford are the league's most dangerous side from set pieces and on the counter. That should mean plenty of action in both penalty areas.
- Bournemouth win the ball high up the pitch and attack within five seconds.
- Brentford score more than average from set pieces.
- Both teams have conceded in most of their matches so far.
