Why you should back Brentford 

The Bees will be looking for revenge, and they will be much more rested. Their last match was a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Feb. 18, while Fulham played in the FA Cup less than a week ago. Brentford's Matchweek 25 game was postponed because opponent Manchester United played in the League Cup final the following day. Brentford also have a huge advantage at home, where their only loss this season came against league leader Arsenal in October. 

The Bees are 6-5-1 at Brentford Community Stadium, with a plus-13 goal differential. Fulham are plus-1 on the road. Brentford have scored 24 of their 37 goals on their home turf. Ivan Toney (14 goals) is a dangerous attacker, and he scored an equalizer in the last meeting before Fulham got a 90th-minute winner. Bryan Mbeumo (five goals) and Yoane Wissa (four) join Toney in a formidable trio up front. They are among seven Brentford players with at least two assists.     

Why you should back Fulham

The Cottagers come in with confidence after beating Leeds 2-0 in an FA Cup match Tuesday to extend their unbeaten run to five. They dropped tight 1-0 losses to top-five teams Tottenham and Newcastle at the end of January and are 4-3-0 in all competitions since. Striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was a huge part of getting Fulham in position to challenge for European competition but has cooled off. He has 11 goals and posted 43 in the Championship last season, so he is overdue to score one.      

Other players have picked up the slack, and Manor Solomon has scored in four straight in all competitions. He and Joao Palhinha scored in Tuesday's victory. Mitrovic, Palhinha and Bobby Reid had the goals in the August match, with Mitrovic grabbing the late winner. Reid has four league goals, and Palhinha has three. The Bees have had a lot of trouble getting victories, with their 11 draws tied for most in the league. The Cottagers should feel confident they can gain at least one point.
