Brentford - Fulham betting tips and odds

Brentford are easily the favourites in the match this Monday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.05 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Fulham may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for The Cottagers who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The fans at Griffin Park were treated to a fruitless effort the last time Brentford hosted a match against Crystal Palace . Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their ability to maintain an advantage. In the end, a 1:1 draw was nothing to be proud about.

This game’s away team played as the hosts in the previous round, but their opponents Wolverhampton Wanderers were still seen as the most likely winners of that clash. Worse yet, Fulham fell behind in the first half, so the 1:1 draw they eventually recorded can be seen as something of a success.

Brentford’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 6 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

Only 1 or fewer goals were scored during the course of The Cottagers’s previous two away games. An Under 1.5 Goals market might be worth considering here.

Fulham are currently number 7th on the table, which is a somewhat awkward position. A Europa League qualification seems to be within reach, but time is quickly running out at the coming matches are stacked against them.

Earlier in the season, The Bees lost an away game against Fulham, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 2.05 odds for a home win in mind.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.96 odds.
