Fulham vs Brentford Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: Another Lukic yellow in 6/1 shot

Another week, another west London derby in the Premier League. We've had Fulham-Chelsea and Brentford-Chelsea in the last two gameweeks, and now it's the Whites and Bees who will duke it out at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening (20:00 BST, Sky Sports Main Event).
Below are my Fulham vs Brentford Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips, with this treble paying out at 6/1.

Match Result - Fulham
Fulham claimed their first win of the Premier League season last Saturday, beating Leeds United 1-0 at Craven Cottage. It was unconvincing, and it took an own-goal from Gabriel Gudmundsson in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time to secure all three points for the Cottagers.
Still, it was a much-needed victory, and means they are now on five points after four games, a decent return considering they faced Brighton away, Manchester United at home and Chelsea away in their first three.
Brentford also have a single win to their name, but are on four points as they have lost twice, suffering defeats in both of their away games.
Fulham did the double over their west London rivals last season, winning 2-1 at Craven Cottage and 3-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium, and I'm backing Marco Silva's side to claim maximum points again this weekend.
Kevin Schade (BRE) Total Shots on Target - 1+
Brentford forward Kevin Schade averaged 0.7 shots on target per game in the Premier League last season, an impressive number considering 12 of his 38 appearances were off the bench.
The 23-year-old has registered three shots on target across his last two league games, with his first of two against Chelsea last week opening the scoring.
Fulham have conceded 3+ shots on target in all four league matches this season, and I think Schade can at least trouble Bernd Leno in goal on Saturday.
Fulham vs Brentford Bet Builder Stats
- Fulham won both H2Hs last season
- Kevin Schade (BRE) has three shots on target across his last two PL apps
- Sasa Lukic (FUL) has been carded in four of his last five starts for club and country
Player Shown Any Card - Sasa Lukic (FUL)
Fulham midfielder Sasa Lukic was booked 12 times in 30 Premier League appearances last season, and has already received two yellows in four this term.
The 29-year-old was cautioned against Manchester United and Chelsea, and was subsequently booked in both of Serbia's September internationals against Latvia and England, meaning he has been shown four yellows in his last six matches (five starts).
Lukic has been booked against Brentford before, in a 3-2 win for the Bees in March 2023, and looks like the most obvious player to go into the referee's notebook here.
