Brentford vs Fulham Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview

Brentford vs Fulham Preview
Brentford have bad news on the injury front as Lewis Macleod is now out for the season after picking up a knee injury against QPR. He joins Alan Judge and Rico henry on the sidelines while Alan McCormack is at the halfway point of his 5 game suspension for abusing a linesman. Striker Lasse Vibe is fit again and left-back Callum Elder has resumed training but neither are expected to feature.
Fulham have every reason to stick with the side that won in comfortable fashion last time out. Scott Parker will be hoping for a recall but may start on the bench. One possible worry is central defender Tomas Kalas who was withdrawn early as a precautionary measure after making his return from a hamstring injury. He’ll be assessed before the team sheets are announced.

Brentford vs Fulham Prediction
Brentford were flying high until a dip in form has seen them drop to tenth, just a single point ahead of Friday’s visitors. The Bees drew 0-0 at Derby before letting in a couple of sloppy goals in a 0-2 home defeat to Barnsley. They looked well drilled and much more assured at the back when winning comfortably at QPR and will be looking to build on that here.
Fulham fans had waited a while for a home win and their patience paid off as the Cottagers delivered a performance to savour. However, it was only their second win in the last 10 games, preceded by a 2-2 draw with Norwich and a 1-0 defeat away at Aston Villa, so they may not want to get too carried away.
Brentford have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches against Fulham in all competitions and have won the corresponding fixture in the last two seasons. The Bees have only lost once at home this season and I can see them coming out on top here.
