Match Preview: Bournemouth U21s v Brentford U21s | OneFootball

Brentford Under-21s return to Professional Development League action on Monday as they face Bournemouth Under-21s away from home (1pm kick-off GMT).

Sam Saunders’ side will arrive at AFC Bournemouth Performance Centre for their second-consecutive away game following Friday’s win over Millwall.

With the sides separated by three points at the top end of the PDL table, Bournemouth holding a game in hand on the Bees, Monday’s clash could prove to be a pivotal one as both teams target a play-off spot.
