Brentford vs Fulham Preview: West London Derby to Decide Relegation Battle
Can Brentford finally get over the line after a long, arduous season?
It's the final day of the season, and Brentford still needs three points to secure their Premier League status. They host Fulham, who are just one point behind them in the standings. It's a must-win game for both teams, but Brentford will be confident of getting the result they need. They have been in good form in recent weeks, winning four of their last five games. Fulham, on the other hand, have lost their last two games and will need to produce a much-improved performance if they want to avoid relegation.
Brentford has been one of the surprise packages of the season. They were promoted from the Championship last season, and many predicted they would struggle to stay in the Premier League. However, they have proved their doubters wrong and have been a competitive force all season long. They are a well-organized team with a good work ethic, and they are always dangerous on the counterattack.
Fulham has had a disappointing season by comparison. They were expected to challenge for promotion back to the Premier League, but they have fallen short of expectations. They have been inconsistent all season long, and they have often struggled to score goals. They will need to find their shooting boots if they want to avoid relegation.
Prediction
It's a difficult game to predict, but I think Brentford will edge it. They are in better form than Fulham, and they have the home advantage. I predict a 2-1 win for Brentford.
