How to Watch: NBC

A key piece of Fulham vs Brentford betting analysis is the head-to-head record. Fulham have won just one of their last seven league matches against Brentford. But that win was recorded in this exact fixture last term. Brentford have won four of the seven league meetings, with two ending in draws.

Question marks continue to surround a number of Fulham’s best players this summer, with Aleksandar Mitrovic reportedly edging nearer to a move to Saudi Arabia. However, the Cottagers would have been delighted with the start that they made on the field. They landed a 1-0 win at Goodison Park against Everton, with their only goal being scored with just under 20 minutes remaining by Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

It was the first time that they had opened their season with a victory in three attempts in the Premier League. However, Fulham haven’t won their opening two matches at the start of a Premier League season in 28 previous attempts in the top-flight. Marco Silva will be hopeful that his side can end that trend in front of their home fans on Saturday.

Thomas Frank would have been delighted with his team’s effort on the opening weekend as the Bees played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Tottenham.

He would have been happiest about the fact that both Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo found the net, with last season’s top scorer Ivan Toney out until early next year due to an FA ban. The draw against Spurs means that Brentford are now unbeaten in their last ten London derbies.

The Bees boast an excellent record in this fixture, as they have lost just twice in 16 visits to Fulham. That run stretches back to February 1981, and they have won six times over that period.

Brentford lost against Fulham at Craven Cottage last season, but they haven’t lost two on the bounce away from home against their rivals since January 1954. Interestingly, a staggering 13% of Brentford’s goals since their promotion to the Premier League in 2021 have been scored from the penalty spot.

Ivan Toney is the only missing player for Brentford, with the striker set to return in early 2024. The hosts are without one of their key stars, with Joao Palhinha sidelined until after the international break.

Moneyline: Brentford are the +155 favorites on the moneyline to land victory this weekend. The draw is available at +240, while Fulham are priced up at +240.

Over/Under: Brentford were one of the most entertaining EPL teams last term, and it should come as little surprise that over 2.5 goals is available at -110.

These sides were difficult to separate in the EPL rankings last term, and a close encounter is likely on Saturday. However, the away side’s dominance in London derbies after studying the Fulham vs Brentford betting analysis is hard to overlook.

Brentford have an excellent record away from home against the Cottagers, and they look an excellent selection on the moneyline this weekend.

• Pick: Brentford (+155)
