Brentford and Fulham will battle for three points in a Premier League matchday 37 clash on Sunday (May 18th). The game will be played at the Brentford Community Stadium.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away win over Ipswich last weekend. Kevin Schade's 18th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Fulham, meanwhile, fell to a 3-1 defeat at home to Everton. They went ahead through Raul Jimenez's 17th-minute goal but let their lead slip when Vitali Mykolenko equalized in first-half injury time. Michael Keane and Beto scored second-half goals to help the Merseyside outfit leave with all three points.
The loss saw the Cottagers drop to 11th spot in the standings, having garnered 51 points from 36 games. Brentford are eighth with 55 points to their name.

Brentford vs Fulham Prediction
Brentford will have their eyes firmly set on the result of the FA Cup final 24 hours before they play their final home game of the PL season. The result at Wembley will determine whether eighth spot will be enough to secure Continental football or not. The Bees have boosted their chances of qualifying for Europe for the first time in their history by winning their last four games in the league. They are aiming to win five succesive top-flight games for the first time since 1939.
Fulham, for their part, also had European aspirations a few weeks ago. However, a poor run of form for Marco Silva's side has seen them tail off. They have lost four of their last five league games (one win).
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
