Fulham vs Brentford Prediction

Fulham Form

Fulham hope for some consistency, as their last three matches added four points to their account. A meeting with Crystal Palace resulted in a 2-2 draw, followed by a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United, before beating Everton by 0-1. Fulham claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Premier League. They also drew one and lost three, scored ten goals and conceded 12.

A struggle seems inevitable at this stage for Fulham, as the home side look to beat the drop zone and keep their Premier League status.

Brentford Form

Brentford claimed seven points from their last nine available, as the won by 1-3 and 1-0 against Tottenham and Manchester City, respectively. Last time out, Tottenham ended up stealing a point in a 2-2 draw. In their last six away matches in the Premier League, Brentford won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and eight scored.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Brentford will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

Fulham and Brentford looks like an equal pairing, and since it's difficult to separate one from the other currently, we wouldn't be surprised by a draw.
