Brentford hope for a win and help on the table to move closer to an unlikely top-five finish when Fulham visit the Gtech Community Stadium for a West London derby on Saturday.
The Bees are five points back of fifth-place Liverpool and a point behind Chelsea with six matches left in their season, and both the Reds and Blues have tricky weekend scraps ahead of them.
WATCH — Brentford v Fulham
Keith Andrews' Brentford have drawn four-straight matches and could use a full collection of points as Everton, Brighton, Sunderland, and others are nipping at their heels.
One of those others is Marco Silva's Fulham. The Cottagers are 1W-1D-2L in their last four matches and have dipped from seventh to 12th since the calendar hit February. They've also been kept off the scoreboard in three of those four games, the outlier a 3-1 win over defense-optional Burnley.
Fulham's 44 points are three behind Brentford following a 2-0 loss at Liverpool in Week 32.

Brentford vs Fulham prediction
The Bees consistently produce opportunities and have even been unlucky when expected goals are compared to real goals. Fulham are a team with 13 of their 43 goals coming off set pieces or penalties, and Brentford rarely concede those sorts of chances. Derbies can go in any direction but unless Fulham show up in open play, this points one way. Brentford 2-0 Fulham.
