Brentford vs Southampton: Premier League match prediction
Brentford and Southampton have made a successful start to the League Cup this week, but things are not going so well in the Premier League, especially for the Saints, who have not picked up a single point in the round. How will the game between the teams go on August 31 and what bets should you pay close attention to? - the answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Brentford
EnglandCurrent form
Brentford have three points from two rounds, which can be considered a positive result, given that they had to play against Liverpool in one of the matches, where the chances were initially very small (0:2). At the same time, they managed to win the London derby with Crystal Palace with a score of 2:1. In the League Cup, the Bees won a minimal victory over Colchester United and made it to the 1/16 finals. So far, the team has surprised with something special in its play, there are no obvious failures, but they have not been able to rise above the established status of a mid-table team.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, Igor Thiago and Aaron Hickey will not play due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brentford have won two of their three competitive games at the start of the season in the first half
- The Bees are unbeaten in six of their last seven home Premier League games
Probable line-up : Flekken - Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer - Jensen, Noergaard, Janelt - Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.
Southampton
EnglandCurrent form
Southampton's return to the Premier League was unsuccessful, as they failed to score a single point in two rounds. The Saints suffered both defeats with the same score of 0:1 from Newcastle away and Nottingham Forest at home. Russell Martin's team was completely unimpressive in attack. And it's not even that they failed to score a single goal - their actions in creation were too straightforward, everything was very readable for their opponents. At the same time, there was a real breakthrough in the League Cup - Southampton beat Cardiff away with a score of 5:3 and made it to the 1/16 finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sulemana and Bazunu are injured, Stewart's appearance on the field is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Southampton have failed to score a single goal in their first two matches
- The Saints have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last 11 Premier League games
Tentative line-up : McCarthy - Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stevens - Sugawara, Smallbone, Downs, Aribo, Walker-Peters - Armstrong, Brereton.
Trends

1.44Bet Total yellow cards of Southampton more than two
Southampton have received at least two yellow cards in nine of their last 11 Premier League games
1.89Bet Exact score 3:0
This score has been recorded in two of the last three matches between the teams
14.00Tip and bets
Brentford demonstrated in the game against Crystal Palace that they are capable of achieving success in matches against opponents of a similar class. Southampton are too direct in attack, they do not have enough speed to create serious problems for the Londoners. In addition, the Bees have won the previous three head-to-head matches and have not conceded a single goal. We believe that the hosts will have a better chance of three points today.
Our prediction is a Brentford win at odds of 1.80
Bet on total
In this pair, a bet on the individual total of goals for Southampton suggests itself, as they have never scored and have not hit the Bees’ goal in their three previous head-to-head matches.
The second bet is Southampton's individual total goals under one with odds of 1.78
Bet on corners
Another possible bet option is on corners. Brentford have not taken more than four corners in six of their last eight home games in the Premier League.
Prediction - Brentford corners total under 4.5 with odds of 3.00
