Fulham vs Brentford Preview

This fixture is set for plenty of goals as is historically the case. I am backing both Over 2.5 and BTTS.

Fulham have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches against Brentford
Brentford have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 matches against Fulham
Brentford have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches (Premier League)

Head to Head

In 16 fixtures since 2016, Brentford lead 7-6 with three draws.

Fulham Form

Fulham face their second home fixture in the space of seven days after a dramatic 1-0 win against Leeds last weekend. Gabriel Gudmundsson's stoppage-time own-goal secured a first Premier League win of the season for the Cottagers.

Marco Silva's men began the new campaign with back-to-back 1-1 draws against Brighton and Manchester United before a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea last month.

Previous encounters between Fulham and Brentford at the Cottage have been entertaining. At least three goals were scored in all four previous Premier League matches on the banks of the Thames.

Fulham News

Head coach Silva can call on a fully fit squad for Saturday's Premier League late kick-off. Record-breaking signing Kevin could be handed a first start after a late substitute appearance in last weekend's win against Leeds.

Brentford Form

Brentford make the short journey across London after a morale-boosting midweek EFL Cup victory against Aston Villa. Aaron Hickey bagged his first goal since his return from a near-two-year injury layoff as the Bees claimed a penalty shootout victory after a 1-1 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Despite the departure of several key players and former manager Thomas Frank, Brentford have made a decent start to the season under new boss Keith Andrews. The Bees collected four points from their first four Premier League fixtures, including a 2-2 draw against Chelsea last weekend.

On the road, Andrew's side have looked a little vulnerable, though, slipping to a 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on the first weekend of the season, before a 2-1 reversal at Sunderland three weeks ago.

Brentford News

Brentford boss Andrews has a near-fully fit squad available this weekend. Paris Maghoma is the only confirmed absentee for the Bees.

Scottish full-back Aaron Hickey is set to keep his place in the first XI after a man-of-the-match performance in Tuesday's League Cup triumph against Aston Villa.

Verdict

Fulham v Brentford

This fixture is usually an entertaining one, and I like the chances of another high-scoring outcome on Saturday. Over 2.5 goals is my best bet, while I also expect both teams to score at the Cottage.
