With both teams seeking a crucial win, the upcoming clash is expected to be closely contested.

Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Brentford

In gameweek 28, both Kompany and Frank found positives in their teams’ performances.

Despite Burnley’s struggles at home, Brentford has lost 10 away games as well.

Given both teams’ tendency to let leads slip, neither set of supporters can rest easy if their side takes the lead.

However, Brentford’s attacking prowess is likely to capitalize on familiar mistakes from Kompany’s squad and get them back on track.
