Fulham vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips

Fulham vs Brentford

English Premier League, KO: 20:00 Nov 4, 2024, Craven Cottage

London rivals Fulham and Brentford round off the Premier League weekend when they face off at Craven Cottage on Monday night.

At the time of writing, the capital duo find themselves separated by just one point and one place in the top-flight standings.

Last time out, Fulham suffered late heartbreak when conceding an equaliser in the dying embers of the game away at Everton.

However, that 1-1 draw did halt the Cottagers’ two-game losing run in the Premier League, but they will be keen to bank all three points when Brentford make the short trip across town.

Thomas Frank’s team made it four home wins from five in the Premier League last weekend with a thrilling 4-3 success against Ipswich, in a game that brought up one of my recommended bets.

The Bees have since squeezed into the last-eight of the EFL Cup thanks to a penalty shootout success over Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night.

How the bookies view it: Fulham set for three points

Fulham, who have failed to win their previous three Premier League games, are odds-on 20/21 favourites on Betano.

Brentford have yet to pick up a point on their top-flight travels this term and the bookmakers odds suggest that trend will continue, with a Bees triumph trading at 12/5 (Betano), while the draw is also considered unlikely at 27/10 (Betano).

Head to head: The Bee’s knees

Brentford have avoided defeat in each of their last three meetings with Fulham. The Bees bagged a 3-0 win at Craven Cottage in last season’s corresponding fixture.

Players to watch: More joy for Jimenez?

With four goals in his last six Premier League appearances, Fulham’s Raul Jimenez looks like a player reborn. The Mexican striker is 29/20 on UniBet for a goal or an assist on Monday night.

Brentford’s Sepp van den Berg was called upon to play at left-back against Ipswich last weekend. If asked to do so again here, the Dutchman stands out to commit one or more fouls at 11/10 (PaddyPower) given that he would likely be tasked with taming Adama Traore.

Predicted line-ups

Fulham will again be without injured duo Sasa Lukic and Timothy Castagne, however Joachim Andersen is expected to come back into the side after serving a one-match suspension.

Aaron Hickey, Gustavo Nunes, Igor Thiago, Josh Dasilva and Rico Henry all remain ruled out for Brentford.

Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Brentford: Flekken; Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock; Van den Berg, Damsgaard, Norgaard, Janelt, Lewis-Potter; Wissa, Mbeumo

Anything else catch the eye?

In a London derby that promises to be intensely contested, backing both Andreas Pereira and Christian Norgaard to each commit a foul holds plenty of appeal at 21/20 on the Bet 365 Bet Builder tool.

All-action Fulham midfielder Pereira committed two fouls against Everton last time out, not to mention the Brazilian got on the wrong side of the referee in four of his five Premier League outings prior to that.

As for Norgaard, he has been guilty of at least one offence in six of his seven top-flight outings for Brentford this term, with seven of his overall foul tally of 10 coming away from home.
