Fulham vs Brentford Prediction: Expect goals at the Cottage

Fulham will aim to make it back-to-back Premier League victories when they take on Brentford at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening (20:00 BST, Sky Sports Main Event).

Below are my Fulham vs Brentford  predictions, as well as all the essential team news and match odds for the clash in London.

Team News

Fulham have a clean bill of health heading into this mid-table clash and that is positive news for Marco Silva.

The manager could even make a few changes to his starting XI.

Summer signing Kevin came off the bench against Leeds United last week and impressed and he could be unleashed from the start against Brentford.

Premier League Odds

Bees head coach Keith Andrews will be without Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma, who are both long-term absentees.

However, Jordan Henderson, Igor Thiago and Ethan Pinnock are in contention to return to the starting XI after missing the tie against Aston Villa in midweek.

Kristoffer Ajer was brought off in that match, but it was merely a precaution and he is available.

Fulham vs Brentford Odds

Fulham are 21/20 to take all three points in this Saturday evening clash, while Brentford are 11/4 to take all three points.

Over 2.5 goals @ 10/11

Both teams might not be the highest-scoring in the Premier League this season, but historically this match-up produces goals.

Last season, both games between the clubs were won by Fulham with scores of 3-2 and 2-1 respectively.

Between August 2020 and May 2024, three or more goals were scored in all but one of the games featuring these two clubs.

Expect goals at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening.

Fulham to win @ 21/20

The Cottagers secured their first league win at the fourth time of asking last weekend against Leeds United.

Silva admitted after the game that his team were “a little bit fortunate” to take all three points as they came courtesy of an own goal by Gabriel Gudmundsson in the dying embers of the game.

The Bees have been very much Jekyll and Hyde this season. Losses have come against Nottingham Forest and Sunderland, but they did beat Aston Villa and performed well in a 2-2 draw against Chelsea last week.

Fulham’s victory over Leeds, however, will give them a massive confidence boost.

Combine this with their impressive head-to-head record against the Bees and the home side could make it back-to-back league wins for the first time since February.
