Fulham vs Brighton Predictions

• Brighton have drawn five of their last nine matches in all competitions
• Both teams have scored in five of the last seven meetings – including a 1-1 draw earlier this season
• Harry Wilson has scored in each of Fulham’s last three home matches

Cottage contest could be lively

Fulham and Brighton drew 1-1 on the opening weekend of this Premier League campaign and we expect both teams to get on the scoresheet in a higher-scoring draw when they renew hostilities at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Both sides are in decent form and they could produce a lively encounter by the banks of the Thames.

Fulham lost 1-0 at Leeds last Saturday, but prior to that they had gone six matches unbeaten, winning four times in all competitions.

A 3-1 win over Middlesbrough followed a home win over Chelsea and a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, and the Cottagers will be confident of holding out against the Seagulls, who have also produce some decent recent results.

Monday’s 1-1 draw at home to Bournemouth was somewhat fortunate as they had to rely on stoppage-time equaliser from Charalampos Kostoulas, but prior to that, they won 2-1 at Manchester United and held Manchester City 1-1 both away from home.

The Seagulls drew 2-2 at West Ham at the end of December and a similar scoreline is prediction for correct-score punters.

Goals to flow by the Thames

Brighton have scored exactly two goals in three of their last six away matches and we predict another brace for Fabian Hurzeler’s side this weekend in a 2-2 draw with Fulham.

The Seagulls haven’t won at the west London venue since the start of January in 2017 and it is hard to see them ending that cold streak this weekend.

Fulham are a tough nut to crack on home soil where their unbeaten run stands at four, and they will be keen to get back on track following last week’s loss at Leeds.

The Cottagers are eyeing a top-half finish at the very least and start this round of matches in 11th spot after their recent run of good form in the lead up to the Elland Road setback.

Marco Silva’s men have taken 11 points from their last six league outings and they may have to settle for just one more in this clash which we predict to finish 2-2.

Harry’s game going from strength to strength

Fulham’s hot streak has seen them bag plenty of goals and Harry Wilson has been at the centre of their potent spell, and we predict another goal for the Welsh wizard this weekend.

Wilson has scored in each of his side’s last three home matches,  and he has been prolific this term, bagging 11 goals in 26 matches for club and country.

The 28-year-old he is averaging just under one shot on target per match in the Premier League this season, and he won’t be far away from the attacking action on Saturday, so backing him to get on the scoresheet once more looks a solid option from a punting perspective.
