Finally, Brentford delivered a long-awaited positive result. In the extreme confrontation, the "bees" confidently beat Norwich with a Score of 3:1. Yes, this victory was necessary for the Club, because the game fell and the guys were in danger of being in the relegation zone. Today, Frank's protégés are in 15th place, with 27 points on the active. In general, for the rookie in the league, the team shows good soccer.

Brentford Community Stadium is a stadium in Brentford, west London. It is the new home of Brentford Football Club and London Irish Rugby Club from 2020, replacing the former Griffin Park ground. It has a capacity of 17,250 spectators and is used for both soccer and rugby matches. The new stadium is at the heart of plans to regenerate the surrounding area, including new residential areas and commercial zones.

Burnley has lived an odyssey to try to get out of the relegation zone of the Premier League, at the moment they are in 18th place in the general table with 21 points played that have been the product of 3 wins, 12 draws and 11 defeats, also, in the statistics they have 22 goals for and 36 goals against, a situation that leaves them with a difference of -14 goals. Last game, Burnley suffered a 0-4 loss to Chelsea and will now look to beat Brentford to add points and get out of the relegation zone.

Brentford is currently in 15th place in the Premier League, 6 points away from the first relegation place. Brentford has 27 points from 7 wins, 6 draws and 15 defeats so far this season, and also has 30 goals scored and 45 goals conceded, which leaves them with a goal difference of -15 goals. Likewise, the locals are in high spirits after having won last week's match with a double goal by Ivan Toney and have moved further away from the red zone of the league.

The twenty-ninth round of the Premier League has arrived for Brentford and Burnley, both teams are in the lower part of the table, being the visitors the ones that are currently deeper in the overall table. Brentford is coming from an important victory that moved them 6 points away from the relegation zone, however, with still a game to play, it is a must not to be confident in order to continue being part of the Premier League. On the other hand, Burnley suffered a crushing defeat against Chelsea and is still in the relegation zone, so it will be important to get a victory this matchday as they could continue sinking deeper and deeper to the point of being mathematically eliminated before the end of the season. 

The Brentford vs Burnley match will be played at Brentford Community Stadium, in Brentford, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 am ET.
