Today (Saturday, December 27, 2025), Brentford hosts  Bournemouth at the Gtech Community Stadium in London, with kick-off at 3:00 PM UK time (15:00 UTC). This is a Matchweek 18 fixture in the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Brentford (12th place): Around 23-24 points from 17 games, with a solid home record (only one defeat in nine home games this season). They’ve been in good form recently, including a 2-0 away win over Wolves last time out.

Bournemouth (15th place): Around 22 points, winless in their last eight league games (including three consecutive draws). They’re safe from immediate relegation danger but slipping down the table

Brentford, under interim head coach Keith Andrews, are known for being sturdy defensively, dangerous on counters and set pieces, and prolific in attack with players like Igor Thiago (top scorer with ~11 goals) and Kevin Schade. They’ve dominated recent head-to-heads, winning four in a row against Bournemouth and unbeaten in the last eight meetings.

Bournemouth, managed by Andoni Iraola, play an intense high-pressing style but have struggled for results lately. Standout player Antoine Semenyo has been in goalscoring form and is linked with a January move (possibly to Manchester City). They’re missing several players, including USMNT’s Tyler Adams (knee injury).

Predictions from various sources lean towards a home win or both teams to score, with expectations of an entertaining game (over 2.5 goals likely, given recent trends for both sides).
The match is not on major UK TV (standard 3pm blackout), but available via usual Premier League streaming/broadcast options internationally.
