Premier League: Brentford vs. Fulham Picks — Bees to Overcome Cottagers in London Derby (May 18)

A fascinating London derby between Brentford and Fulham is set for the penultimate weekend of the Premier League season.

The Bees come into this round of matches in excellent form after winning each of their last four. Back-to-back wins will secure eighth spot in the standings, which could be enough for a European place.

Fulham’s form has dipped in recent weeks. Marco Silva’s side has now lost four of their last five in the Premier League, which has seen them drop into the bottom half of the standings.

Brentford Chasing First Win Over Fulham Since 2023

Fulham recorded a win in the reverse fixture between these sides in November. However, they are yet to complete a Premier League double over the Bees.

The Cottagers are also yet to win an away match against the Bees since November 2016. Brentford have won two of their last three home matches against Fulham.

Brentford vs. Fulham Key Stats

• For the first time since March 1939, Brentford have recorded wins in four straight matches in the English top-flight.

Brentford vs. Fulham Picks

Fulham’s European charge has run out of steam after losing four of their last five matches.

Meanwhile, Brentford come into this weekend as one of the in-form teams in the competition. That momentum makes the Bees very challenging to bet against at the Gtech Community Stadium.
