This match was marked in the calendar a long time ago by supporters of both contenders, as it's the first Premier League Summer Series fixture of the season. Both Fulham and Brentford are aiming for a good start to their campaign.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Fulham form and stats
Disaster struck Fulham last season as they could not defend their status as a Premier League team. With 16 defeats from 38 games, and only 15 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Fulham are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W8 D5 L6.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League Summer Series game versus Aston Villa in only three days. This game is also played here at Lincoln Financial Field.
Brentford form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Brentford as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 15 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Brentford's manager Frank are hoping to lead the team right back to Premier League at the first attempt.
A quick return to home after this game, as Brentford are hosting Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League Summer Series only three days away.
Just as the home team, Brentford have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 0 Brentford wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - two - five (Fulham wins - draws - Brentford wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
