Brentford fans are daring to dream as their team chases a piece of history, hoping to secure a fifth consecutive Premier League victory and keep their European ambitions alive with a final flourish at home.
As the season reaches its dramatic conclusion, Brentford find themselves tantalizingly close to a finish that could open the doors to European football for the very first time. With a string of four consecutive league victories behind them, confidence in the camp is high, and the momentum is palpable. Supporters are beginning to believe that this could be the year their side finally takes the next step on the continental stage.
The upcoming London derby against Fulham offers the Bees a perfect stage to showcase their progress. However, this matchup also brings a unique set of challenges. Brentford’s home record against fellow capital clubs has not been particularly inspiring this season, with just one win from five such encounters. Despite this, optimism is fuelled by their recent turnaround, having ended a long barren spell at home with back-to-back convincing wins. Notably, those victories saw them score four goals each time, underlining their growing attacking prowess.
For Thomas Frank and his players, Saturday’s result in the FA Cup final will be crucial, as it will ultimately determine whether eighth place is enough for European qualification. Regardless of what unfolds elsewhere, the team’s primary focus remains on taking care of business in front of their own fans and finishing the campaign on a high.
Fulham, meanwhile, approach this clash with mixed emotions. Although they have come up just short in their own push for Europe, there is still plenty to play for in this derby. With a four-point gap separating them from their hosts, the Cottagers know that victory would bring a certain sense of satisfaction, especially if it means denting their rivals’ hopes. They will be determined to finish their season with a statement performance.
The Cottagers’ recent away form leaves much to be desired, as they have struggled on their travels, particularly in London derbies. Having managed just one win in their last five away league matches, Fulham are eager to end this run on a more positive note. Memories of last season’s final away game, where they emerged 4-2 winners at Luton, will provide some encouragement, though it has been more than a decade since they managed back-to-back away wins to close out consecutive campaigns.
In terms of individual form, Brentford will be hoping for another influential performance from Kevin Schade, who has enjoyed a timely purple patch. After netting four goals in his last three league outings, Schade has matched his total from his previous twenty appearances, becoming a key figure at the right moment. On the other side, Fulham’s attack is spearheaded by Raúl Jiménez, who opened the scoring last time out but was unable to inspire his side to victory. This has become something of a recurring theme for the forward, as he has often found the net first, only for his team to fall short.
Both sets of fans will be aware that drama often follows these encounters, with plenty of twists likely before the final whistle. For Brentford, history beckons, while Fulham are motivated by the chance to play spoilers and finish their season with pride.
Adding a layer of intrigue, Fulham have struggled to hold onto leads throughout the campaign. No team in the division has dropped more points from winning positions, with a staggering 28 points slipping away over the season. That statistic alone suggests there could be fireworks and late drama in store when these two London rivals clash at the Gtech Community Stadium.
