Brentford defeated Fulham earlier this season in a West London Derby 3-0 at Craven Cottage. Will our algorithm back the Bees to do the Premier League double over Fulham?

Brentford will play Premier League football again next season. However, it hasn’t been an easy journey this season for Thomas Frank and company.

The Bees are just 10 points clear of the bottom three with three matches left to play. The pressure could be off the squad, however, enabling them to play with freedom this weekend.

Fulham are 13th in the division eight points ahead of Brentford in the standings. The Cottagers are not in form going into matchday 36.

Marco Silva’s team won just one of their last six matches in the division. Fulham claimed a 1-1 draw a week ago against Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, Brentford lost 1-0 to Everton at Goodison Park. The loss ended a five-match unbeaten streak.

Twenty-one of Brentford’s 35 points this season have come at home. The Bees’ defence conceded 30 times at the GTech Stadium. The attack scored 27 goals in their 17 matches at home.

Fulham took just 14 of their 43 points on the road in 2023-24. The Cottagers have a -15-goal difference on the road with 20 goals for and 35 against.

Fulham did win on their last trip away from Craven Cottage. They claimed a 2-0 win away to West Ham.

Brentford won 3-0 in the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage thanks to a goal from Yoane Wissa and two from Bryan Mbeumo.

The last five matches between these clubs in all competitions ended with over 2.5 goals. Three of the last four matches between the clubs saw both teams score.

Wissa leads Brentford in goals with 10 this season. The striker scored three goals in his last four appearances for Brentford. Mbeumo has eight goals this season. Two of those eight goals came against Fulham in the reverse fixture.

Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz leads the team in scoring with nine goals. Muniz scored Fulham’s only goal a week ago in the team’s 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Midfielder Joao Palhinha leads the Premier League in yellow card stats with 13. Brentford, on the other hand, have tallied the league’s fifth-most yellow cards as a team.

Brentford won the reverse fixture 3-0 at Craven Cottage. Fulham do not play well on the road, with just 14 points coming away from the Cottage.

Our AI score prediction is for Brentford to win once more, 2-0, as the pressure of relegation is offer their shoulders.
