After the two names that have officially won tickets to the top flight, Leeds and West Brom, Brentford or Fulham will be the next team to join the Premier League next season.
The play-off match for promotion between the two London sides is expected to be extremely exciting, in line with the nature of an "expensive final".
As for Fulham, they are facing the opportunity to return to the top flight of English football right after a relegation season.
Coach Scott Parker and his team played very convincingly in the First Division and also did not have much difficulty in defeating Cardiff, reaching the final. Carrying the experience of a team that has played for many years in the Premier League, Fulham is the team that is considered the better team.
On the contrary, Brentford is determined to play for the first time in the Premier League. Although they are 3rd, one place higher than Fulham in the Championship standings, Brentford are only slightly better than their opponents in terms of extra goal difference.
Thomas Frank's young team played as much as they improved, but they will have to be in the "bottom" in the final.
The ticket to play in the Premier League is always considered a chance to change the lives of the lower-level players. And given this significance, the match at Wembley deserves to be the "most expensive match in the history of world football".
According to the Telegraph, the team that wins the promotion playoff can earn a profit of £170 million, a record for world football today. This figure is even more than 3 times Liverpool's total bonus when winning the 2018-2019 Champions League (about more than 50 million pounds).
Promotion means remarkable development in both position and economy, the desire to win is something both Brentford and Fulham have. However, the promotion spot is only 1 and will be for the team to be more determined and perform better in the decisive match.
The First Division play-off final between Brentford and Fulham will take place at 01:45 on August 5 (Vietnam time), broadcast live only on Football TV, ON and Onme/VTVcab channels.
