Fulham vs Brighton Prediction & Match Preview

• Fulham lost just one of the last five league fixtures.
• Brighton are winless in the previous eight matches against the Cottagers.
• We’ve seen three or more goals in each of Fulham’s previous four Premier League outings.

Fulham conquered Old Trafford with a last-gasp Alex Iwobi winner last weekend. Marco Silva’s men thus ended United’s lengthy winning streak by producing a great performance despite missing some of their key players. The Cottagers were without Joao Palhinha, Raul Jimenez, and Willian on the occasion.

None of them will feature on Saturday afternoon either as Fulham play host to Brighton in Matchday No 27 at Craven Cottage. Jimenez and Willian are still injured while Palhinha has one more game of suspension to serve. Nonetheless, Fulham will still enter the tie on a high, following a run of two wins in the last three Premier League matches.

Brighton have been playing hot and cold lately. They avoided a home loss to Everton only thanks to a stoppage-time equalizer from Lewis Dunk seven days ago at The AMEX. The Seagulls dominated the pitch throughout the 90 minutes of action but lacked the final touch in the final third. To make things worse, the latest news suggest that the season is potentially over for their star man Kaoru Mitoma.

Recent Meetings

• Fulham have been a tricky opposition for the Seagulls in recent years. Brighton are winless in the previous eight clashes against the Cottagers.
• The run includes a 1-1 stalemate in the return game form this season, abck in October last year at The AMEX.
• Only one of the previous five H2H clashes between these counterparts produced three or more goals.

Fulham vs Brighton Prediction

Fulham lost just one of the previous five league games. They have generally done well on the home patch since the beginning of the season, losing only 5 of 13 league outings at Craven Cottage. Brighton have been playing hot and cold lately. We were not impressed by their showing in a 1-1 stalemate to Everton last weekend.

We must not forget that the Seagulls are also winless in the previous eight outings with Fulham. The home win or draw double chance pick is our top betting suggestion at the 1.53 odds.

Alternatively, we will go for the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.61 odds. Each of Fulham’s previous four league games produced three or more goals. The same scenario happened in five of Brighton’s last six Premier League fixtures.

The Seagulls fired 23 shots towards Everton’s goal seven days ago, while Fulham’s clash with Manchester United was packed with chances on both ends of the pitch as well. We can hardly imagine a low-scoring scenario on Saturday despite the fact that recent H2H trend may suggest it.
