Fulham vs. Brentford: Match Prediction
In this London derby, it's difficult to favor either side. Both teams lack consistency and tend to drop points more often than they gain them. However, the derby has been quite productive in terms of goals, with at least three goals scored in 5 of the last 6 league meetings. Notably, this goal tally has been reached in all three encounters at this stadium in the Premier League.
Fulham rarely leaves the field without scoring at home, having done so in 18 of their last 21 league matches. However, they have also conceded in 10 of their last 12 home Premier League games. Brentford has scored in all their away league matches this calendar year and has conceded in 6 of their last 8 away Premier League games. Therefore, I expect another entertaining match with plenty of goals.
My prediction – Total over 2.5 goals
