Brentford vs Burnley Prediction: Brentford striker to continue fine form

Brentford welcome Burnley to the Gtech Community Stadium this weekend, hoping to move nine points clear of Saturday's opponents (15:00 BST). 

Keith Andrews' side have lost just one of their seven home games in all competitions this term, while the Clarets head into this encounter having lost all but one of their away trips. Read on for my Brentford vs Burnley predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Fabio Carvalho recently ruptured his cruciate ligament in training, meaning that the former Liverpool man will not feature again this season for the hosts.

Antoni Milambo is also out for the rest of the campaign for the Bees, while another long-term absentee in Josh Dasilva could feature in the new year.

As for Burnley, they emerged unscathed injury-wise from their loss to Chelsea, therefore their only absentees will be Connor Roberts, Zeki Amdouni and Jordan Beyer.

Brentford vs Burnley Odds

The hosts are 4/9 to claim all three points on Saturday, giving them an implied win probability of 69.2%, while the draw is 7/2 and Burnley are 13/2.

Igor Thiago is the current favourite to score anytime at 11/10, and both teams to score is available at 1/1.

Brentford to win and both teams to score @ 11/5

The Bees suffered their sixth defeat of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, but they should be able to bounce back in style here against a Burnley side that struggle on their travels.

Andrew's side have won four of their last six outings, picking up wins over the likes of Newcastle United, Manchester United and Liverpool, while their only defeat at home has come against Manchester City.

Burnley suffered their third successive defeat against Chelsea last weekend, meaning they've now lost five of their last six. However, the Clarets have scored in five of their six away trips, despite losing five of them.

Igor Thiago to score anytime @ 21/20

Thiago joined the Bees in 2024, but his first season was curtailed by injury. Brentford have had to show patience with their £30m Brazilian, but now he's repaying that back in abundance with the season he's having.

Only Erling Haaland has scored more goals than the Brentford striker this term, and a goal here would be the earliest in terms of matches (13) a Brentford player has reached double figures in a single Premier League campaign.

Thiago is averaging 1.51 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League, so he should get plenty of opportunities to strike against a Burnley side who are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this campaign.
