Premier League Preview: Brentford vs Burnley

As the Premier League enters another intense weekend of fixtures, one match that stands out is the encounter between Brentford and Burnley at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, 29 November 2025. This clash promises to be a pivotal game for both teams, which currently find themselves struggling in the lower reaches of the table.

Form Guide and Recent Performances

Brentford, currently occupying the 13th position with 16 points, has been on an upward trajectory. In their last ten Premier League home games against promoted sides, they have not only secured victories but also achieved a remarkable feat by scoring at least twice in each match. Their most recent win came against Newcastle United, where they convincingly won 3-1.

Burnley, on the other hand, sit in the 19th position with just 10 points and have shown some promising form recently. They managed to secure a hard-fought victory over Arsenal, defeating them 2-0, which was their third consecutive win in league matches against their opponents.

Head-to-Head Analysis

The history between Brentford and Burnley is marked by dominance from the home side. Brentford has won all four Premier League meetings so far, securing impressive victories of 2-0 and 3-0 respectively. However, this does not mean that the Clarets do not pose a significant challenge.

Burnley’s recent record against Brentford shows they have won five out of their last seven league games (L2).

This streak suggests that Burnley is no pushover and will be looking to upset the home side. In fact, since their first meeting in 2022, Burnley has won eight times against Brentford.

Key Statistics and Player Performances

In terms of goal scoring, Brentford have been clinical, with 18 goals across all competitions this season, compared to just 14 for Burnley. This trend is likely to continue as the Bees have won their last four Premier League home games by a margin of at least two goals.

Martin Dúbravka, Burnley’s goalkeeper, stands out with his remarkable save record. Leading all players in saves this season, he has prevented the fourth most goals based on Opta’s xGoT model (2.7 – 23.7 xGoT conceded, 21 non own goals against).

This statistic underscores his importance to the Clarets’ defensive strategy.

Looking ahead, a goal for Brentford’s Igor Thiago would be particularly significant. Aiming for double figures in his first campaign, he could make a statement with this match. Meanwhile, Burnley will need to improve their attacking output, as they currently have the lowest expected goals total (8.7) and the fewest shots on record in a single Premier League season.

As both teams gear up for what promises to be an intriguing encounter, the focus remains on Brentford’s home form and Burnley’s recent resurgence.

The match will not only decide points but also potentially impact their standings in the Premier League table.
