Fulham host Brentford on Saturday afternoon, in an intriguing looking London derby. The Bees began the season with an entertaining 2-2 draw at home to Spurs, whilst Fulham claimed three points thanks to a hard fought 0-1 win at Everton.
Fans wanting a betting bonus for the match are in precisely the right place. Our sports betting gurus have studied the formbooks and key stats in order to bring you an exclusive prediction for the fixture.
Marco Silva’s side exceeded all expectations last season by securing a top half Premier League finish. And whilst the Summer has been full of speculation concerning key players (and Silva himself), the vast majority of the 2022/23 squad has remained together.
The Cottagers began the new season with a solid win at Everton, and victory here will give them their best ever start in the Premier League.
Brentford are loving life in the Premier League. Under coach Thomas Frank, they have established themselves as a strong top flight team. Last week’s draw with Spurs only served to highlight the fact that Brantford will, once again, be no pushovers this campaign.
The biggest challenge for Frank will be coping without the suspended Ivan Toney for the first half of the season. In his absence, the likes of Bryan Mbuemo will need to step up and find the net regularly. If that happens, there is no reason why Brentford cannot enjoy another successful season.
The head-to-head record between the two teams is extremely close, with Brentford holding a slender 24-23 advantage. In keeping with that theme, last season’s fixture saw the teams share a win each. In the corresponding fixture at Craven Cottage, Fulham won an exciting game 3-2.
The best way of assessing the football betting odds for the game, is to first look at our statistical highlights. These stats contain key details relating to both teams and their recent form.
Fulham are priced at 39/20 at most leading sports betting apps. Brentford are marginal favourites at 41/25, whilst the draw can be backed at 12/5.
This is an extremely tough game to call. There is very little to choose between the two sides and the match is likely to be decided by fine margins.
However, we are going to recommend an away win in this one. We just think that Brentford have a slightly stronger squad and whilst Fulham won on game day one, it was hardly a vintage performance. Therefore our tip for the game is to take the away team at 41/25.
