Brentford will host Bournemouth in the second leg of the relegation play-off. Who will make it to the final?
"Brentford"
By the first semi-final match, Brentford were in fine form, with a 12-match unbeaten run. It seemed that the team would be able to achieve a positive result on the road and in the return game to bring the matter to its logical conclusion. However, all the assumptions came to naught, because "Brentford" not only did not win, but even lost, and did not even score (0-1).
Bournemouth"
But Bournemouth had the opposite situation: they lost three matches in a row before the play-offs, without scoring a single goal, but they gathered for the decisive games of the season and showed a reliable game in their possession, and also did not forget about the upset of others. Groeneveld scored an effective shot in the 55th minute and brought his team the most important victory. Now Bournemouth will be satisfied with a draw to reach the final.

Forecast
"Bournemouth" liked in the first match, outplaying the opponent tactically. I don't think anything will change globally in the second leg. I propose to play the victory of the guests with a handicap of +1. If they lose, it will be a maximum of one goal, and in general, a draw is very likely.
