Burnley vs Brentford – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

Scott Parker’s Burnley return to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon, looking to harness their recent momentum and secure a massive victory in their fight for Premier League survival.

The Clarets enter the weekend buoyed by a resilient 1–1 draw at Chelsea, secured by a stoppage-time equaliser from Zian Flemming. Having earned four points from their last two games—just one fewer than they managed in their previous 16—Burnley are slowly showing signs of life in their bid to close an eight-point gap to safety. Avoiding defeat today would see them match their longest unbeaten run of the campaign.

Brentford, meanwhile, arrive in Lancashire looking to bounce back from a surprising 2–0 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. Despite that setback, the Bees have been formidable on their travels recently, winning four of their last five away fixtures. Currently sitting seventh in the table, Keith Andrews’ side remains firmly in the hunt for European qualification and will be eager to exploit Burnley’s prolonged winless run at home.

Burnley vs Brentford – Match preview and team news

Team News

Burnley

Scott Parker is managing a significant injury list that includes Connor Roberts, Josh Cullen, Axel Tuanzebe, Zeki Amdouni, and Armando Broja. However, Parker confirmed that Hannibal is in a “good frame of mind” and ready for the weekend. Jaidon Anthony is also available and looking to add to his six-goal tally this season.

Brentford

Head coach Keith Andrews revealed that Michael Kayode is back in training and should be “in and around” the squad. Aaron Hickey is a doubt after coming off with an injury last weekend, while Josh Dasilva, Fábio Carvalho, and Antoni Milambo are all out with long-term knee injuries. Kevin Schade is available to start after returning from suspension in the previous match.

Form

Burnley

The Clarets have shown improved fighting spirit lately, following up a dramatic 3–2 comeback win over Crystal Palace with a gritty 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge. Notably, Burnley have earned four points from their last two matches, a significant upturn compared to their previous form. However, their home record is a major concern; they have not won at Turf Moor since October and are currently on a nine-match winless run in front of their own supporters.

Brentford

The Bees travel to Turf Moor having won four of their last five away league matches, including impressive victories at Aston Villa (1–0) and Newcastle (3–2). Their overall momentum took a slight hit last time out with a 2–0 loss to Brighton, which snapped a three-match unbeaten run. Notably, Brentford have won 10 of their last 12 games against promoted sides and are looking to complete their second-ever league double over Burnley.

Predicted Lineups

Burnley Predicted XI: Dubravka; Walker, Worrall, Esteve; Laurent, Ugochukwu, Hannibal, Humphreys; Edwards, Anthony; Flemming

Brentford Predicted XI: Kelleher; Collins, Ajer, Van den Berg, Henry; Henderson, Janelt; Ouattara, Jensen, Schade; Thiago
