Burnley is coming into this match with a heavy trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches and their defense has been awful in those. They have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 7 straight matches, but their attack was also much better in their last match as they scored 2 goals. They are going up against a Brentford side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight as well as 8 of their last 10 matches. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 as well as 8 of their last 10 matches, averaging over 2 goals allowed per match in that span. Their attack has been very potent though as they have scored 5 goals in their last 3 matches, scoring at least 2 goals in 2 of those. Brentford has been in awful form recently but they have a lot more talent than this Burnley squad and they will have no trouble cutting through this defense with that potent attack, especially with the way Burnley has been on defense recently. Burnley is going to have some confidence after scoring 2 goals in their last match though and Brentford has not been good on defense either recently so it would not be shocking to see Brentford concede goals away from home here. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
