Brentford hosts Fulham in the English EFL Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, October 1st at Brentford Community Stadium (London)
Brentford probably harbors a grudge against Fulham for the past season because it was the Londoners who became the stumbling block for the Bees in their brave way from the Championship to the Premier League. In the playoffs final, Fulham won only in extra time (2:1). But to Brentford's credit, it did not lose its shape in a short offseason pause and began to show good football in the first division and the League Cup, as if nothing had happened. The Bees have already passed three stages, eliminating not only the modest Wycombe but also two representatives of the elite division in the form of Southampton (a very confident 2-0 away victory) and West Bromwich!

As for Fulham, its results in the Premier League immediately went wrong - Scott Parker's men suffered three defeats in a row. Two of them turned out to be whitewashes. The Cottagers lost to Arsenal in the derby and (somewhat surprisingly) to not so formidable Aston Villa with the same 0:3 score. Beyond that, Fulham lost to Leads United with a hockey 3:4 score.
In my opinion, distressed Fulham is not ready to play on several fronts. It should try to improve the situation in a much more important Premier League. After this League Cup match, the Cottagers will have a difficult away match against Wolverhampton. In this connection, the lineup of the visitors will certainly be experimental. Thus, Brentford has a great opportunity to beat the Cottagers and take vengeance for the unfounded hopes of the last season!
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win with 0.0 handicap
