Aiming to keep their hopes of a European finish alive, Fulham travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Cottagers have lost four of their last five matches in the top flight following a sobering day at home versus Everton last weekend, ending up as 3-1 victims of the Toffees.
Meanwhile, the busy Bees extended their winning run in the Premier League to an impressive four matches, beating Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Thomas Frank's men are in pole position with two games remaining as they hunt down a first-ever European berth, sitting eighth in the top-flight standings.
Fulham are four points behind Brentford in 11th and know that anything other than success at the Gtech would end their Conference League dreams.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 67
Brentford wins: 25
Draws: 18
Fulham wins: 24
Despite being separated by only a few miles in the English capital, Brentford and Fulham have faced off just 67 times over the past century.
The head-to-head record between the two sides is extremely close, with Brentford slightly edging it at the moment with 25 wins, whilst Fulham have enjoyed 24 victories in this fixture.
The Cottagers and the Bees are also regular sharers of the spoils in this matchup, drawing on 18 occasions, with the most recent stalemate arriving at the Gtech Community Stadium in May 2024.
The first-ever clash between the two sides occurred in December 1928, when just over 8,000 fans watched Fulham succeed 2-1 away at Brentford.
Indeed, the Cottagers enjoyed plenty of success in the earliest iterations of this fixture, winning each of the first three matchups by an aggregate scoreline of 5-1.
Brentford's maiden triumph over Fulham remains their biggest of the 25, with the Bees smashing their West London rivals 5-1 in February 1930.
The honour of the biggest-ever success in this fixture resides in the history books of Fulham, though, who beat Brentford 5-0 on two separate times during a six-game unbeaten run against the Bees between 1947 and 1953.
Since the start of the 2022-23 campaign, the two sides have met five times in the Premier League, both boasting two wins across the contests.
The most recent match ended in a 2-1 success for Fulham at Craven Cottage in November 2024, when an added-time brace from Harry Wilson dramatically turned the contest on its head.
