Bournemouth vs. Brentford: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 124

Draws: 35

Brentford and Bournemouth share a long-standing history in English football that dates back to the early 20th century.

Their first recorded meetings came in 1923, when Bournemouth - known back then as Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic - faced Brentford in the Football League Third Division South, with both sides exchanging victories during those formative years.

As the decades passed, the fixture developed alongside the clubs’ progress through the English football pyramid, leading to more regular encounters in both league and cup competitions.

One of the most emphatic results arrived in the 2011–12 season, when Brentford thrashed Bournemouth 6–0 in the EFL Trophy quarter-final, which remains the largest winning margin in the history of the fixture.

In more recent times, Brentford have largely held the upper hand over Bournemouth, whose last victory came in a 1–0 win in the first leg of the 2020–21 Championship play-off semi-final at the Vitality Stadium, although they went on to lose the tie 3–2 on aggregate.

The Bees are currently unbeaten in their last 11 meetings with the Cherries across all competitions, a run that includes nine clashes in the Premier League, with the West London club winning five and drawing the remaining four of those top-flight meetings.

The latest meeting between the two sides came in a 2-2 stalemate at the Vitality Stadium on September 12, 2026, with the Bees taking the lead in the 34th minute through a Kevin Schade header, only to be pegged back moments later by Justin Kluivert's strike.

Marcus Tavernier then fired Bournemouth ahead in the 56th minute, but it took Schade only four minutes to restore parity, leaving both sides to settle for a share of the spoils.

That said, Bournemouth and Brentford's first-ever Premier League encounter took place on October 1, 2022, and ended in a goalless draw, while the most recent meeting followed a similar pattern as the sides played out another 0–0 at the Vitality Stadium in gameweek 29 of the 2025-26 campaign.

Although that result extended Bournemouth’s winless run in this fixture, it at least brought an end to a five-match losing streak across all competitions.
