This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

Fulham form and stats

The first Premier League game here at Craven Cottage resulted in a draw. Last season Fulham's home game statistics were 14 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats from 23 games.

Fulham travelled for their previous game, a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers that ended 0-0. A painful moment in the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers was the missed penalty kick from Mitrović in the 81st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Liverpool.

This is expected to be a close game, with Fulham perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fulham as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Fulham has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 5.

The manager da Silva will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Crawley Town in only two days.

Fulham has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Brentford form and stats

One match played away so far in the Premier League for Brentford and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 6 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses from 19 games.

Brentford had fun at their own home (Craven Cottage) last time out, beating Manchester United 4-0. Dasilva, Mbeumo, Mee and Jensen scored. As mentioned above, Brentford was the only team on the pitch versus Manchester United in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Midfield player Jensen was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.22/10. Jensen scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Leicester City that ended 2-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brentford playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 1 Brentford win, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Brentford have another game away in just two nights, a Carabao Cup match vs Colchester United. A rough itinerary for them!

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Brentford has managed 2 goals and let in 2 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the former ten meetings involving these two teams are: two wins for Fulham, three draws and five wins for Brentford. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
