[Football- England 'Premier League'] 19.8/ 16:00 Fulham- Brentford

The black and whites started the new season right. They prevailed on Everton's pitch, 1-0. The winning goal was scored by Bobby De Cordova-Reid in the 73rd minute. The team coached by Marco Silva strengthened this summer. Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez and Bassey came, among the most sonorous names. On the list of departures is Manor Solomon, the most important lost piece. Fulham played 4 warm-up games this summer: 2 0-2 defeats against Chelsea and Aston Villa and wins against Brentford (3-2) and Hoffenheim (2-1). There is speculation that top scorer and also last seasons best player Aleksandr Mitrovic is close to a move to Arabia.

Ahead of Fulham v Brentford, the visitors come after one of the most exciting games of the opening round. They drew 2-2, at home, with Tottenham. Spurs opened the score quickly, in the 11th minute, but the "bees" returned the score until the break. However, the final score was settled before half-time, when the team coached by Thomas Frank found themselves tied in the 45+4th minute. Mbeumo, from the penalty, and Wissa managed to score for Brentford. The London team did not do many sound transfers. Even more, they lost David Raya, transferred to Arsenal. The team's leading scorer, Ivan Toney, is suspended until the beginning of 2023 for violating the law with a view to betting.

Moreover, in terms of xG (Expected Goals), both teams are close but Fulham still maintains an edge - their home ground advantage reflected in an average xG of 1.43 against Brentford’s 1.50 on away pitches. The Brentford defence could be up for a challenge; they concede on average 1.78 goals when playing away - a figure much higher than Fulham's 1.36 when at home. Fulham - Brentford proved to be a spectacular game in the last clashes. Last season, the two shared their home victories. In both games the score was 3-2 for the hosts. This also happened in the friendly played this summer. At that time, Fulham still prevailed with 3-2. The attack of the two formations looks quite good. I anticipate a game in which we will see goals from both sides.
