Fulham-Brentford is a match valid for the second day of the Premier League and is played on Saturday at 4 pm: TV, formations, predictions.
It’s hard to say who did better: sure, Fulham won, so whoever wins is always right, and they did it as well away at Everton’s ground, while Brenftord drew yes at home, but they did it against Tottenham, so, in short, both did well on debut.
The two teams, which will take the field on Saturday afternoon, also faced each other in a friendly last July 23, so they know each other, or so it might seem. And it was Fulham (3-2) who won in a July match that clearly provided excitement and gave pointers to the two coaches. Of course, they are playing for the championship now so from a mental aspect the teams will take the field with a different mindset, but that does not mean it cannot end up as it did just under a month ago. Maybe not with the same result, but definitely with a victory for the hosts who, as mentioned, showed in their debut that they are already on the ball both from a physical and also from a tactical aspect. Winning away is never easy, and managing to fend off Everton’s attacks gave a good demonstration of defensive compactness.

The prediction
A similar result to last July’s friendly, with Fulham victorious in a challenge that should give not only one goal per team but at least, and obviously, at least three overall. Then the hosts should take an important, hard-earned victory against a team that was nonetheless on the ball. Yes, it could go just like that.
