Fulham vs Brentford Prediction 04.11.2024 | Premier League

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 04.10.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Craven Cottage (London)

Fulham have recently gone through a series of tough matches, where they were effective but couldn’t quite get the wins. After an impressive showing against Manchester City, which ended in a narrow 3-2 defeat, they followed that with a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa. Just last weekend, they were unlucky not to grab a victory, drawing 1-1 against Everton. Currently sitting mid-table with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, Fulham seem like they won’t have any issues securing safety in the Premier League this season, but at the same time, they’re unlikely to challenge the top of the table either.

Not many would have expected Brentford’s matches to be among the most exciting in the league, but that’s exactly what they’ve been. So far this season, their games have produced 36 goals, averaging 4 goals per match. Brentford also rank 5th in the league for expected goals (xG), reflecting the high-quality chances they’ve created. Bryan Mbeumo has been one of the standout performers, sitting second in the Premier League scoring charts with 8 goals, just behind Erling Haaland. Brentford boast the third-best attack in the league but also the third-worst defense, which makes their matches a rollercoaster of goals and drama.

Fulham vs Brentford pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Fulham tend to play slower than Brentford, but even in their recent matches, we've seen plenty of goal-scoring chances and quicker transitions. They’ve had 24 goals across their 9 games this season, which comes close to 3 goals per match. In 5 of the last 6 meetings between these two teams, there have been over 2.5 goals, which tells us exactly what they’re capable of. Brentford have repeatedly shown that they can find the net early in matches, and Fulham’s strong midfield and attack also make them a constant threat. All signs point to another high-scoring affair, with 3 or more goals on the cards.
