Fulham

WLLWLL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Everton in Premier League competition, Fulham and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Fulham managed 64% possession and 18 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for Fulham was Raúl Jiménez (17'). On the other side, Everton got 11 attempts at goal with 7 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.

📋 Team News: Brentford

Aaron Hickey (Fitness), Fábio Carvalho (Shoulder injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery) and Vitaly Janelt (Heel injury) are not available for Brentford gaffer Thomas Frank.

In all likelihood, The Bees will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with 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.

ℹ️ Team News: Fulham

Fulham boss Marco Silva has to choose a team with limited availability. 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.

It’s our belief that The Cottagers might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out 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.
