Command Analysis

Brentford

Current form
Brentford has produced an impressive streak of four wins in a row and climbed to eighth place, which may well become the European Cup. However, the bees still need to hold this position for the remaining two rounds, as Brighton lags behind only in additional indicators. In the previous match on the road, Thomas Frank's team narrowly beat Ipswich with a minimum score of 1:0. At the moment, Brentford's unbeaten streak has reached six matches, and the team lost for the last time on March 8, when they lost to Aston Villa (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Da Silva, Carvalho and Roosevelt will miss the upcoming match due to injuries. Hickey's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last three matches, Brentford has won in the first half.
- In eight of the last ten matches with Brentford, no more than three goals have been scored.
Approximate line–up: Flecken - Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis–Potter – Jarmolyuk, Nergor, Damsgard - Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.

Fulham

Current form
Fulham claimed for most of the season to finish in the European Cup zone, but could not withstand the intense competition. In the previous five rounds, the cottagers won only one victory, and lost in four matches. As a result, they are only in 11th place in the table for the upcoming tour. It has not been possible lately to score points not only with rivals from the leading group, but also with opponents comparable in class. So, for the previous two games, Marc Silva's team lost to Aston Villa (0:1) and Everton (1:3). A trip to the Brentford Community is unlikely to bode well, as there has not been a single victory over the bees at this stadium since 2016.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nelson, Muniz, Castagne and Reed will miss the derby due to injuries. Lukic's appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Fulham have not won in the first half.
- In seven of the ten previous matches of the cottagers, an exchange of goals was recorded.
Approximate composition: Leno– Tete, Andersen, Bassi, Robinson–Berge, Pereira–Wilson, Smith-Rowe, Iwobi–Jimenez.
Trends
1st halfbet: total less than 1.5 goals
In the three previous head-to-head matches, no more than one goal was scored in the opening 45 minutes.
1.57Bet Goals in both halves – yes
In three of Fulham's last five matches, goals have been scored in each half.
1.71The bet is an accurate score of 2:1
The Cottagers have suffered three of their last four defeats with a one-goal difference.
8.50Tip and bets
In face-to-face matches on the road, taking into account all tournaments, Fulham has not won since 2016. Today is clearly not the most convenient moment to interrupt this unfortunate series. According to the current form, Brentford is much stronger than the cottagers, has won four matches in a row, and is fighting for the eighth place, which can still give a ticket to European competitions. We don't think the hosts are going to stop there, especially since the game is on, and the players are clearly on a decent roll.
Our prediction is that Brentford will win by a factor of 2.05
Bet on the total
In many ways, the Bees' recent successes are due to their reliable defensive play, as they did not concede more than one goal in four of the previous six matches. Given the current game of the guests, it is unlikely that they will score two goals for Brentford.
The second bet is Fulham's individual goal total of less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.57
A bet on yellow cards
Fulham players have received more than one warning in six of the last seven away matches in the Premier League. It is unlikely that the guests will play the derby too carefully and accurately.
Betting Tip – the total of Fulham yellow cards is more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.77
