Fulham are on a 4 game winning streak and occupy the final Championship promotion play-off place in 6th. But even though their recent form has been good, they have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in their last 12 games – that blank came in form of a 1-0 win against Championship whipping boys Rotherham. It’s Fulham’s home form at Craven Cottage that has held them back the most this season, they have won just 10 of their 22 league games there.
With just 1 defeat in their last 7 games, Brentford are well on their way to securing a respectable mid-table Championship finish. Brentford have been an exciting team to watch this season – they have scored the same number of goals as newly crowned champions Brighton (73) but have also conceded more goals than 2nd from the bottom Wigan.
When the sides last met in early November, Fulham ran out 2-0 winners at Griffin Park thanks to goals from Sone Aluko and Tom Cairney. Read our detailed match predictions and Fulham vs Brentford betting tips below.
With 13 goals scored in their last 4 games, Fulham are in red-hot form. Slaviša Jokanović’s side are the second highest scorers in the Championship this season (82 goals) and have managed to score for 15 consecutive league games. Brentford are in fine fettle themselves, and it promises to be an interesting and potentially action packed game at Craven Cottage. I fancy Fulham to make it 5 wins from 5 on Saturday.
Bet365 have odds of 6/4 for Fulham to win with over 3.5 goals scored – those odds seem narrow but it’s clear that the bookies are expecting goals. You can get 10/11 for there to be over 1.5 goals in the first half with the same bookie which is a moderate side bet option.
