The home supporters await three points in this fixture, as the home advantage might do the trick against a struggling visitor. Brentford are in 8th place while the guesting Southampton lose sleep at 20th.
- Southampton have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Premier League
Southampton could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Carabao Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Newcastle United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Brentford form and stats
5-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Brentford so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Brentford Community Stadium.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Brentford, as their goalkeeper David Raya Martin has completely shut out the opponents for 220 minutes in the Premier League.
The Brentford coach Frank and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Leeds United (placed 15th). Goalkeeper Raya got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.15 out of ten. Raya topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against AFC Bournemouth.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brentford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Brentford at home in the league. 20 on target and 10 scored by the opposition; from 10 matches.
Southampton form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Southampton so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-7 (win-draw-lose).
Two away games in a row for Southampton, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 vs Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup. Bednarek, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.45. Bednarek won 5 of 8 duels.
A home win as anticipated against Blackpool preceding that, in the FA Cup. We have checked recent matches where Southampton have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 2 victories, 2 draws and 9 defeats.
The attacking power of Southampton when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Southampton struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games.
