Brentford vs Fulham Preview and Team News 

Brentford Team News

Brentford are riding a four-match winning streak that has propelled them into contention for European qualification. A Kevin Schade header secured their recent 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town. They also defeated Man United 4-3, Nottingham Forest 2-0 and Brighton 4-1.

In their match against Manchester, Brentford employed a high-pressing game, targeting their opposition’s inexperienced defence. Their use of long throw-ins and crosses exploited aerial weaknesses of the opponents, leading to multiple goals. The midfield trio, led by Nørgaard, effectively disrupted United’s build-up play and facilitated quick transitions to attack.

Overall, the hosts’ recent success can be attributed to a cohesive midfield and dynamic attacking trio. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have been particularly effective, with their interplay creating numerous scoring opportunities and goals.

However, Brentford face some health concerns. Midfielder Vitaly Janelt is ruled out for the remainder of the season, and Fabio Carvalho and Josh Dasilva won’t feature on Sunday.

Fulham Team News

Fulham’s hopes for European qualification have suffered due to a series of disappointing results, including a recent 3-1 home defeat to Everton.

After taking an early lead with a goal from Raul Jimenez, the team fell victim to defensive lapses and vulnerabilities during set pieces, which ultimately led to their loss. Manager Marco Silva has expressed concerns about the squad’s focus, especially in set-piece situations.

Silva’s tactical setup emphasizes possession-based football, with a preference for building attacks through the midfield. Fulham’s heavy reliance on the left flank, particularly through Alex Iwobi, has both advantages and disadvantages. While this strategy provides a strong attacking option, it can also make their play predictable, allowing opponents to devise counter-strategies.

Fulham are dealing with squad availability issues. Timothy Castagne, Sasa Lukic, Harrison Reed, Reiss Nelson, and Rodrigo Muniz are all expected to miss the trip to Brentford.
