Club football returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Fulham lock horns with an impressive Brentford side in an intriguing friendly encounter at the Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
Fulham vs Brentford Preview
Brentford finished in ninth place in the Premier League standings last season and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The Bees were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Boreham Wood in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.
Fulham, on the other hand, secured a 10th-place finish in the league table last season and have been inconsistent in recent months. The Cottagers suffered a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United last month and will need to bounce back in this match.
