• Kick-off Time – 02:00 PM GMT
• Venue – Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford

Brentford FC are about to lock horns with Southampton FC at home for the gameweek 3 fixture of Premier League 2024-25. The tie is a gifted opportunity for hosts Brentford, who are playing impressive football in the ongoing season and have collected three points from two games.

Visitors Southampton FC had a bad start to their campaign. They have lost both their previous games and are yet to score a goal in the competition. The Saints will look to change their fate as soon as possible but are not looking positive enough to turn the tables at this moment.

Both teams will be desperate for a win. While Brentford will look to gather maximum points and rise above in the middle of the table, Southampton will look to get a win or stay satisfied with a draw, and at least open their accounts.
