Fulham

WLLWLL

After tasting defeat last time out to Everton in Premier League action, Fulham will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Fulham managed 64% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 6 on target. The scorer for Fulham was Raúl Jiménez (17'). Everton had 11 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Vitaliy Mykolenko (45'), Michael Keane (70') and Beto (74') scored for Everton.

The numbers tell their own story, and Fulham have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals overall. In defence, Fulham have clearly had some problems. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, of course.

Ahead of this meeting, Fulham have not emerged victorious against Brentford when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not good.

ℹ️ Team News: Brentford

Aaron Hickey (Fitness), Fábio Carvalho (Shoulder injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery) and Vitaly Janelt (Heel injury) won’t be playing for Brentford manager Thomas Frank.

In our view, The Bees will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match featuring Mark Flekken, Michael Kayode, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Keane Lewis-Potter, Yegor Yarmolyuk, Christian Nørgaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa.

📋 Team News: Fulham

Fulham boss Marco Silva has multiple availability issues to deal with. Saša Lukić (unknown injury), Rodrigo Muniz (Achilles tendon problems), Reiss Nelson (Hamstring injury), Harrison Reed (Calf injury) and Timothy Castagne (Ankle surgery) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, The Cottagers could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system using Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Ryan Sessegnon, Sander Berge, Andreas Pereira, Harry Wilson, Emile Smith Rowe, Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez.

🔮 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Brentford will, in all likelihood, be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

In contrast, Fulham will not find it easy to get a goal of their own - but, we do see them converting at least once as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 victory for Brentford after 90 minutes.
