Latest football match prediction: Fulham vs Brentford
After three winless opening rounds, Fulham finally secured three points in a fortunate victory over newly promoted Leeds United last weekend.
The match at Craven Cottage was rather uneventful and seemed destined for a draw, but in the final minutes, Gabriel Gudmundsson headed the ball into his own net, gifting Marco Silva's team a valuable 1-0 victory.
Silva admitted his team were "partially lucky" to win thanks to an own goal, but he was also pleased with his players' determined spirit to "push forward in search of a goal" in the second half. The Portuguese coach also emphasized that Fulham need to "make a habit of keeping clean sheets," after their first clean sheet of the season against Leeds.
In fact, Fulham and Arsenal are the only two teams that have not conceded a goal from open play in the Premier League this season. Their 4 goals conceded all came from corner kicks (2) or penalties (2). Conversely, 2/3 of Fulham's goals also came from set pieces.
Currently sitting 11th in the table, Fulham will host Brentford this weekend. They won both of their encounters last season and are aiming for their first three consecutive wins against the Hornets since the 1928–1929 season.
Manager Keith Andrews started his tenure with mixed results, but overall Brentford have performed better than expected after a major squad overhaul during the summer.
Despite losing both of their away games this season, Brentford have earned four points in their two home matches, including Fabio Carvalho scoring the 93rd-minute equalizer against Chelsea last week, following a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Earlier this week, they went on to beat Aston Villa in the League Cup after a penalty shootout (1-1 in 90 minutes, winning 4-2 on penalties). Andrews believes this result proves his players are "growing up as a team".
However, the upcoming trip to Fulham presents a significant challenge. Brentford have lost two of their last three Premier League visits to Craven Cottage (winning one), more than in their previous 15 visits combined (six wins, eight draws, one loss). They also face the risk of losing two consecutive away games against Fulham for the first time since 1954.
Nevertheless, Brentford can be confident based on statistics: Fulham have lost 5 of their last 7 London derbies in the Premier League, after previously having a 10-match unbeaten run against their city rivals.
