Brentford vs Fulham

Brentford (Winning Odds – 1.97):

Team News:

Only one bed is currently in use in the Brentford treatment room because second-choice goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha is still out with an ankle injury, but Frank Onyeka and Pontus Jansson should be available for selection.

As things stand, Toney will be free to lead the Bees’ attack on Monday night in search of his 15th Premier League goal of the season, with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa assisting him as usual.

Janelt’s last-gasp heroics against Palace could see the German overtake Josh Dasilva in the midfield triumvirate, but Frank should see no reason to disturb the peace here.

Brentford Possible Starting Lineup:

Raya; Hickey, Pinnock, Mee, Henry; Janelt, Norgaard, Jensen; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa

Fulham (Winning Odds – 3.75):

Team News:

While Brentford will not work around the suspension of an essential cog, Fulham must cope without Palhinha for Monday’s game and the visit of league leaders Arsenal the following weekend due to an accumulation of bookings.

With Tom Cairney still out with an ankle injury, January signing Sasa Lukic is expected to make his Premier League debut alongside Harrison Reed, while Layvin Kurzawa and Neeskens Kebano are out with knee and Achilles injuries, respectively.

Despite his ever-present ability off the bench, Solomon’s FA Cup debut suggests that Silva intends to stick with Willian and Bobby Decordova-Reid from the start, while Mitrovic should be fit to lead the line after playing 69 minutes against Leeds.

Fulham Possible Starting Lineup:

Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Lukic; Decordova-Reid, Pereira, Willian; Mitrovic

Statistics for Brentford and Fulham

Brentford

Brentford and Fulham have been two of the Premier League’s biggest overachievers this season, and their west London derby on Monday should not disappoint.

Both teams were in the top nine heading into this weekend’s round of matches, and both should be considered contenders for the European places in the Premier League this season.

Fulham are four points ahead of their London rivals with 39 points from 25 games – an excellent return from a club predicted to be relegated at the start of the season – but Brentford have two games in hand.

And it appears that Brentford will come out on top when these two teams meet at the Gtech Community Stadium.

To begin with, Thomas Frank’s side has made themselves extremely difficult to break down, having not lost any of their last 11 Premier League matches, including games against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Arsenal.

The Bees, on the other hand, have been especially dangerous at home, having lost only one of their 12 league games this season, and that was against high-flying Arsenal back in September.

Fulham

They needed a 96th-minute strike from Vitaly Janelt to salvage a point in their 1-1 draw with Palace at home last time out, but they had won three in a row before that and can make it a difficult evening for Fulham.

The Cottagers have been strong on the road this season, picking up five league victories, but they will be without key combative midfielder Joao Palhinha.

That is a huge blow for Fulham, as summer signing Palhinha was crucial in turning the defence into an attack, and playing without him away at Brentford will be difficult.

Key Facts

Brentford have gone undefeated in their last 11 games (Premier League).
Brentford have kept a clean sheet in all three of their home games against Fulham this season.
Brentford has gone unbeaten at home in their last eight games.
Fulham have kept three clean sheets in their last five games, conceding only two goals.
Brentford has won 7 of the 14 previous meetings, while Fulham has won 4. The others have all ended in a tie.

Brentford vs Fulham Prediction

Brentford have been excellent at home this season, and Fulham will face a significant challenge. The Cottagers have the quality to come away with a win here, especially with Mitrovic in good form this season. They can, however, be quite inconsistent at times, and Brentford will be eager to get back on track after drawing three of their last four league games.

The home team has a better attack at their disposal and should be able to break down the Fulham defence. The absence of Palhinha could be critical for the away team. Check out the odds at Cricbaba!

Watch out for an exciting game with Brentford to win at the odds of 1.97.

Brentford vs Fulham Most Recommended Player for Bet:

Since we expect Brentford to win easily, our man to watch is their top goalscorer and overall best player this season, Ivan Toney.

So far, the English striker has done exceptionally well, scoring fourteen goals in twenty one Premier League appearances while also providing three assists. Fulham will have to keep an eye on him in their upcoming match.
