The home team has won all four Premier League meetings between Brentford and Burnley, with the Bees winning 2–0 and 3–0 respectively.
Burnley have won five of their last seven league matches against Brentford (L2), just one fewer than in their first 21 league meetings with the Bees (W6 D8 L7).
Brentford have won their last 10 Premier League home games against promoted sides, since losing their first such match against Norwich City in November 2021. In all 10 of these wins the Bees have scored at least twice (a total of 28 goals).
Only Arsenal and Man City have won more home games (5 each) and scored more home goals (16 each) than Brentford in the Premier League this season (4 wins, 12 goals).
Brentford have dropped more points from a winless situation than any other team in the Premier League this season (11), including a 2-1 defeat to leaders Brighton last time out. Indeed, since their promotion to the competition in 2021, they have dropped more points from forwards than any other top-flight side (88).
Only Wolves (27) and West Ham (25) have conceded more Premier League goals than Burnley (24) this season, with the Clarets’ two clean sheets coming against fellow promoted sides Sunderland and Leeds.
Burnley have the fewest expected goals (8.7) of any side in the Premier League this season, and are the only team to have fewer than 100 shots (98) so far. As it is, their rate of 8.2 shots per game is the lowest on record in a single Premier League campaign (since 1997–98).
Of all the teams to have scored 100+ goals in Premier League history, no side has scored a higher share from the penalty spot than Brentford (25/246 – 10.2%). The Bees have scored more penalty goals (4) than any other team this season, but are the only team to score from a free-kick or corner.
Only Erling Haaland (14) has scored more Premier League goals this season than Igor Thiago (9). A goal for the Brazilian in this match would be the first in terms of matches (13) that a Brentford player has reached double figures in a single campaign in the competition.
Burnley keeper Martin Dubravka has made more saves than any other player in the Premier League this season (49). The Slovaks have also prevented the fourth-most goals based on Opta’s xGoT model (2.7 – 23.7 xGoT conceded, 21 non-own goals).
