Brentford take on the visitors Fulhamin the round 26 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, February 6th at Brentford Community Stadium (London).
Brentford have reminded everyone of their existence after a long period of stagnation - they were lucky that Benham, a supporter of the modest local team, got rich and decided to promote the football project. A distinctive team with an unusual Danish accent in the selection was created, which gradually grew to reach the Premier League in 2021. After a good past, essentially debut season at this level, Thomas Frank's proteges did not just give up - they continue to progress. A mention goes to Ivan Tawney - despite problems with the law and betting, he has already scored 14 goals in this championship. However, they are not always enough to win. On February 18th, there was yet another draw, the third in the last four games. Moreover, "Crystal Palace" lost 2 points literally at the last moment, due to a goal scored on the 96th minute. By the way, "Brentford" skipped the next round due to their opponent's participation in the League Cup final. How will this unexpected break affect the team's morale?

In recent years, Fulham strictly alternated between a year in the Premier League and a year in the "floor below". So even the early victory in the Championship in 2022 only confirmed the status of a "football lift". It was necessary to judge how good Marco Silva was based on how well he and his team performed in the Premier League. And there they exceeded all expectations. It quickly became clear that this time the "Cottagers" were more than combat-ready, and by mid-winter, it was necessary to change and raise the goals for the rest of the season. And immediately switch from survival to the fight for European cups! And why not, if Chelsea and Liverpool have clearly failed, and West Ham and Leicester have passed their peak? So the 1-1 draw with Wolves in the last round was no longer perceived as the conquest of another point but as the loss of two - especially against the background of the fact that the day before, they won 1-0 against a direct competitor, Brighton. However, it is worth remembering that the London club is also involved in the fight for the cup. They just hosted Leeds at home on Tuesday and secured a solid victory - 2-0.
In August, after rising to the Premier League, Fulham won at home against "Brentford in a bright match that ended 3-2. This is the first such success for the Cottagers" in the last 8 head-to- head matches. Brentford are a strong enough team that plays in an entertaining style. However, the visitors are also strong, and their progress has been impressive.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
