Fulham vs Brentford Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Just a point separates the home side from the Bees in the points table.

The last fixture of Match Week 10 of the Premier League takes us to Craven Cottage Stadium in London, where Fulham FC are scheduled to lock horns against Brentford.

Fulham currently sit tenth in the Premier League table, having recorded three wins, three draws, and three losses. However, they have struggled recently, failing to secure a victory in their last three matches, following a strong start to the season. They faced setbacks against Manchester City and Aston Villa and settled for a draw against Everton in their most recent encounter. Fulham will be eager to capitalize on their home advantage to secure all three points against Brentford.

Brentford, on the other hand, are currently positioned ninth in the Premier League table, boasting four wins and an equal number of losses. The Bees recently emerged victorious against Sheffield Wednesday in a thrilling clash that went to penalties. So far, Brentford have secured wins against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town, showcasing their attacking prowess.

However, defensive frailties have been a concern, as they have conceded 18 goals so far. Brentford will aim to ensure their defence remains resolute when they take on Fulham in this midtable clash.

Players to Watch

Raul Jimenez (Fulham):

The 33-year-old veteran Mexican centre forward from Hidalgo will look to give the home fans plenty of reasons to cheer against Brentford. Jimenez has previously played for top clubs in Europe, including Atletico Madrid, Benfica, and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has also made over a century of appearances for the Mexican national team and was part of the squad that won the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2019.

His accolades include the CONCACAF Gold Cup Golden Ball in 2019 and being named Wolves Player of the Season for the 2019-20 campaign. His experience could prove vital as Fulham aim to maximize their home advantage.

Brian Mbuemo (Brentford)

Standing at 5’7″, the French-born Cameroonian international has made over 193 appearances for Brentford, netting 53 goals. Mbuemo has been one of the most reliable players for the Bees since joining the team. A product of the Troyes Academy, he recently made his international debut for Cameroon.

Mbuemo was part of the Brentford side that triumphed in the EFL Championship playoffs in 2021, earning promotion to the Premier League. He will look to maintain his goal-scoring form and ensure the Bees have a steady supply of goals against Fulham.
