Brentford Team News
Brentford players have been playing pretty well lately. They are unbeaten in their previous eight Premier League games. In that period, they registered four wins and a draw. Before this round, they occupy eighth place in the table with 30 points. Their current standings are commendable as they are ahead of some favored teams like Chelsea and Liverpool.
The main attacking force of the Bees this season is center-forward Ivan Toney. He has scored 13 goals so far and is the third-top scorer in the league. A very important player in Brentford’s performance is midfielder Christian Norgaard, who is very influential both defensively and offensively.
The defensive line also functions flawlessly. They conceded only three goals in the last five games. In that period, only the defense of Newcastle conceded less than all the Premier League teams.
Frank Onyeka and Pontus Jansson are out due to injuries, while Shandon Baptiste’s performance is questionable. Rico Henry has recovered and will be in contention for the starting lineup.
Southampton Team News
Unlike Brentford, the form of Southampton’s players has been disastrous for a long time. They have been defeated in seven of their last eight league games. In that period they only beat Everton. They are currently in last place in the table with only 15 points. They share that position with Everton, while Bournemouth and Wolves won two more points.
The poor quality of their defensive line is the key reason for the bad results. They have conceded a goal in each of their last nine games. They simply do not have a top defender in their squad, and as a team, they defend their goal poorly.
In addition, this team is very young and inexperienced. They are the youngest in the entire league and that is a huge handicap for a competition like the Premier League. In the January transfer window, they did not sign sound reinforcements, so until the end of the current competitive year, they will fight fiercely for survival in the elite.
Nathan Jones, Tino Livramento, and Juan Larios have been injured for some time. They were recently joined by Kyle Walker-Peters who injured his knee. On the other hand, Moussa Djenepo could return to the starting line-up as he has recovered from a head injury.
Brentford vs Southampton H2H
This will be their first clash of the season. In the previous one, both teams celebrated as hosts – Brentford 3-0 and Southampton 4-1.
Brentford vs Southampton Expected Lineups
Brentford (4-3-3): Raya; Janelt, Pinock, Mee, Ajer; Norgaard, Dasilva, Jensen; Wissa, Mbeumo, Toney
Southampton (3-4-1-2): Bazunu; Caleta-Car, Salisu, Lyanco; Diallo, Lavia, Edozie, Elyounoussi; Ward-Prowse; Orsic, Adams
Brentford vs Southampton Prediction
We are of the opinion that the current form of both teams is a sufficient indicator of the direction in which this clash will go. Brentford is a better-organized team this season and we believe that Thomas Frank’s team will win three points in this match.
