Brentford and Southampton will face off in Premier League action at Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday afternoon.
After suffering a 2-0 loss on Sunday, Thomas Frank's side returned from Liverpool with three points from two games. The Bees have won the last two of their three home meetings against Southampton without a loss. In their past seven Premier League home games, they have only lost once.
Meanwhile, the return of Russell Martin's side to the top flight wasn't the greatest as they lost to Nottingham Forest 1-0, their second loss of the year. The Saints have only won once in their last five travels to Brentford, and that victory dates back to 2011.

Brentford vs. Southampton lineups, team news
Ivan Toney was absent from the squad once again last weekend amid ongoing transfer speculation, making it unlikely he'll take part in this game. Meanwhile, Joshua Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, and Rico Henry are still sidelined with long-term injuries and will remain on the sidelines.
Brentford predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Flekken (GK) — Rasmussen, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer — Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen — Mbeumo, Lewis-Potter, Wissa.
Injured: Hickey, Dasilva, Thiago
Suspended: N/A
Kamaldeen Sulemana has been on the sidelines since picking up an injury during pre-season, but his return could be just around the corner, although it’s still up in the air whether he’ll be fit in time for this weekend.
On the bright side, Manager Russell Martin doesn’t have any fresh injury worries to contend with.
Southampton predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): McCarthy (GK) — Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens — Downes, Smallbone, Walker-Peters — Diaz, Armstrong, Aribo.
Injured: Bazunu

Brentford vs. Southampton prediction
Both teams have had very different experiences this season, and we anticipate Southampton's struggles to continue with another loss. The Bees hold the advantage in this matchup, having won the last three encounters between the sides. In those games, the Bees have been defensively solid, not conceding a single goal.
Conversely, Southampton failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six games against Brentford and conceded the first goal in five of those matches. However, while the Saints have lost their first two games of the season, each defeat was by just one goal. They will likely put up another strong defensive effort this weekend, making it difficult for Brentford, but we still expect the hosts to come out on top.
Prediction: Brentford 2-0 Southampton
