Fulham

WLLWLL

After tasting defeat last time out to Everton in Premier League competition, Fulham and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Fulham had 64% possession and 18 shots on goal with 6 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Fulham was Raúl Jiménez (17'). For their opponents, Everton had 11 shots at 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

Fábio Carvalho (Shoulder injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery) and Vitaly Janelt (Heel injury) aren’t available for Brentford gaffer Thomas Frank.

In our view, The Bees may well use a 4-3-3 formation in the match, utilising Mark Flekken, Michael Kayode, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Keane Lewis-Potter, Christian Noergaard, Yegor Yarmolyuk, Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Kevin Schade.

📋 Team News: Fulham

Fulham manager Marco Silva has some current player fitness concerns. Rodrigo Muniz (Achilles tendon problems), Reiss Nelson (Hamstring injury), Harrison Reed (Calf injury) and Timothy Castagne (Ankle surgery) miss out here.

There’s a good chance that The Cottagers appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Sander Berge, Sasa Lukic, Adama Traore, 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.
