Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Brentford & Fulham face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only three days ago.
Brentford form and stats
Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.The story so far in the Championship for Brentford at their home stadium is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats. 1W-2D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Carabao Cup for Brentford.
Brentford manager T. Frank and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Millwall in the Championship. 2-2 away at West Bromwich Albion (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) before that.
This is expected to be a close game, with Brentford perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brentford as a small favourite), we find six games. Brentford has won three of these, drawn two and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Championship game versus Preston North End in only three days. This game is also played here.
Brentford has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Fulham form and stats
Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.Playing away, Fulham have won 0 games, drawn 0 and suffered 1 defeat in the Premier League this season. Recent form does not give Fulham much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Brentford will be a tough nut to crack.
Fulham failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Aston Villa that ended with defeat 0-3. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fulham playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Fulham wins, one draw and two defeats.
Fulham has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Wolverhampton Wanderers in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
