Brentford vs Fulham Matchday Stats Preview

Brentford have won five of their last seven matches against Fulham in all competitions (L2), winning their last two in the Premier League against their London rivals.

Fulham have lost six of their last seven away games against Brentford in all competitions, winning the other game 2-0 in November 2016 under Slavisa Jokanovic.

Since enjoying a 14-match unbeaten Premier League run in London derby matches between October 2022 and November 2023, Brentford have lost five of their last six (D1). Indeed, before this, the Bees had only lost five of their first 27 London derbies in the competition (W12 D10).

Fulham have earned 15 points in Premier League London derby matches this season (W4 D3 L4), their most in a single campaign in the competition. Indeed, it’s as many points as they’d earned across their three previous top-flight seasons combined (0 in 2018-19, 4 in 2020-21 and 11 last season).

Fulham have won two of their last five Premier League away games (D1 L2), this after only winning one of their first 12 on the road this season (D4 L7). The Cottagers are looking to win back-to-back away league matches for the first time since December 2022/January 2023.

Brentford won 2-0 against Sheffield United in their last Premier League home game. Only once this season have they won back-to-back league games at the Gtech Community Stadium, beating Burnley and West Ham in October/November.

Brentford have conceded more headed goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (19), with these also accounting for a league-high 32% of their overall goals conceded. The only team to concede more headers in a single Premier League campaign are Leeds United (20 in 1992-93).

Having netted four goals in his first five Premier League games after returning from suspension, Brentford’s Ivan Toney hasn’t scored in any of his last nine. It’s his longest run without a league goal since a run of 10 with Peterborough United between February and April 2019.

With a goal against Liverpool and an assist against Crystal Palace, Fulham’s Timothy Castagne is looking to register a goal involvement in three consecutive Premier League games for the second time, previously doing so in September 2020 in his first three appearances in the competition.

Rodrigo Muniz has scored nine Premier League goals this season, and could become only the fourth player to score 10+ goals in his debut campaign for Fulham in the competition, after Andy Cole (12 in 2004-05), Dimitar Berbatov (15 in 2012-13), and Aleksandar Mitrovic (11 in 2018-19).
