Brentford vs Burnley form
Brentford still can't make fans forget the label "smart at home, stupid in the market". A week ago, the London team visited Brighton's Amex.
Despite taking the lead thanks to striker Igor Thiago's goal and creating a good game, the Bees still had to leave empty-handed in the end.
A loss of concentration at the end of the second half caused Brentford to let Danny Welbeck and Jack Hinshelwood score consecutively and lose 1-2.
That was the 5th defeat after 6 away trips since the beginning of the season for coach Keith Andrews and his team, putting them in the group of teams with the worst away record.
But when returning to their home ground Gtech Community, Brentford became formidable. In the past 7 times hosting guests, the Bees won 5, drew 1 and lost only 1.
Notably, the defeated opponents under Kevin Schade and his teammates are all quite famous faces such as Aston Villa (2 times), Man United, Liverpool or Newcastle United.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Brentford is rated much higher than Burnley in this weekend's encounter. The home team also has a good record in recent times hosting The Clarets.
In the last 2 visits to the home of the Bees, Burnley both lost 0-2, 0-3 respectively and both times left the field with only 10 men.
Amid their poor form, the Lancashire side's hopes of a more positive result at Gtech Community look dim.
Burnley have lost all of their last 3 matches and conceded at least 2 goals each. They used to be the best defensive team in the Championship last season, but when they moved up to a higher level of play, the "wall" in front of Martin Dubravka's goal became fragile and easy to collapse.
After 12 games, Burnley have conceded 24 goals (an average of 2 goals/game) and become the team with the third worst defense in the league, only bettered by West Ham and bottom team Wolves. Notably, 75% of the goals Burnley have conceded (18 goals) have come on the road.
Also because of the difficulties when away from home, Burnley has only won 1 and lost 5 out of the past 6 away matches. That weak performance has pushed coach Scott Parker and his team to the second to last position on the rankings. Although the distance to the nearest safe position is only 1 point, the possibility of the away team rising after this round is very low.
