AFCB take on the Bees of Brentford

Brentford didn't quite make the top 10 in the Championship last season. They accumulated 64 points and came in 11th. They have a Danish head coach called Thomas Frank and he's been at the club since October 2018, when Dean Smith went to Aston Villa. Frank won the Championship manager of the month in January 2019 and he'll want to see a good start to the Bees season to make a better attempt at winning promotion.
It's been a while since Bournemouth played Brentford.
The Bees have seen a lot of change over the summer with six players leaving and four new signings coming in. Frank has mainly kept his spending on Championship players and the one foreign transaction was midfielder Mathias Jensen from Celta Vigo in Spain. Other buys this summer include Spanish goal keeper David Raya from Blackburn Rovers, defender Ethan Pinnock from Barnsley and Swedish defender Pontos Jansson from Leeds United.

Brentford are currently working on their new Community stadium which will open next summer and will see the Bees leave Griffin Park after 116 years. The new stadium will have a capacity of 17,250 seats. So this is likely to be the last meeting between the two teams at Griffin Park unless there is a meeting in one of the cups this season.

The game this afternoon at Griffin Park should see some of those who did not take part in last night's match against WBA get a run out. So we should get another look at new signing Jack Stacey, but Eddie Howe will also want to see some goals and it is a chance for players like Jordan Ibe, David Brooks and Dominic Solanke perhaps to get their pre-season scoring going.
