Brentford vs Fulham Picks
Two teams that aren’t in the best of form and yet are still having good seasons chasing Europe. Brentford have gone from strength to strength whilst Fulham are making a late push for the top six.
I’m taking the Bees to end their run of three straight defeats to Fulham in this game.
Other markets include Igor Thiago to score twice, Harry Wilson to have two or more shots from outside to box and Kevin Schade to get two or more assists.
