Explore our detailed preview for Brentford vs Fulham in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 BST match.

Fixture: Brentford vs Fulham
Date: Sunday 18 May 2025
Kick-off: 15:00 BST
Venue: Gtech Community Stadium

The match at Gtech Community Stadium promises to be an exciting encounter, with Brentford's current form and home advantage giving them the edge. Expect Brentford to continue their high-pressing game, looking to exploit Fulham's vulnerabilities in defence. Fulham, on the other hand, will need to be more clinical in front of goal and solid at the back to stand a chance.

Given Brentford's momentum and Fulham's recent struggles, the Bees are likely to dominate possession and create more scoring opportunities. However, Fulham's quality in attack, particularly through Jiménez and Iwobi, could pose a threat on the counter.

Match Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Fulham

Brentford have been in scintillating form, securing a club-record fourth consecutive Premier League victory in their last outing against Ipswich Town.

Their recent performances have propelled them into the race for European qualification, as they currently sit in eighth place. The Bees have shown real quality, with key players like Kevin Schade, Bryan Mbeumo, and Yoane Wissa leading the charge.

Flekken; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Yarmoliuk, Nørgaard; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa

Brentford are likely to continue with their 4-2-3-1 formation, which has served them well in recent matches. The focus will be on maintaining a high press and exploiting the flanks with Mbeumo and Wissa, while Nørgaard anchors the midfield.

Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Pereira,  Berge; Iwobi, Smith-Rowe, Wilson; Jiménez

Fulham may opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to control the midfield with Cairney and Reed, while relying on the creativity of Iwobi and Smith-Rowe to unlock Brentford's defence. Jiménez will be the focal point up front.

• Bryan Mbeumo vs Antonee Robinson: Mbeumo's pace and directness will be a significant threat on the right wing, and Robinson will need to be at his best to contain him.
• Kevin Schade vs Joachim Andersen: Schade's aerial prowess and finishing ability will test Andersen's defensive skills, particularly from set pieces.
• Yoane Wissa vs Calvin Bassey: Wissa's movement and goalscoring instinct will challenge Bassey, who will need to be alert to his runs behind the defence.
  

Brentford have conceded two or more goals in eight of their last 11 games at the Gtech Community Stadium.
