Brentford – Fulham

Brentford host Fulham in what looks like a classic top‑vs‑bottom encounter, with the Bees sitting sixth on six points after a win and three draws, boasting a solid 7‑4 goal difference. The Cottagers will be keen to extend their unbeaten run and keep pressure on the promotion places, while Fulham, languishing eighteenth with just a single point from one draw and three defeats, will be desperate for their first win and a boost to their -3 goal difference. The two sides have already met this season, and Brentford’s superior record and home advantage should give them the edge, although Fulham will be motivated to close the gap and avoid slipping further down the table. All eyes will be on whether the Bees can convert their consistency into three points and keep the relegation battle at bay for the visitors.
