Brighton vs Fulham Predictions

• Brighton have won by at least two goals in each of their league wins this term
• The visitors have lost by two or more in all four of their league defeats
• Fulham have lost 2-0 in two of their last three games

Brighton celebrate European milestone

Thursday night was an important one for Brighton, as they claimed their first-ever victory in Europe with a 2-0 win over Ajax. Beating one of Europe’s greats is a massive step for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, while it ended a five-game run without a win for the Seagulls.

Brighton were beaten 2-1 at Man City last weekend, while before that they played out 2-2 draws with both Liverpool and Marseille. It has been a tough run for the hosts, but their schedule eases up this week as Fulham head to the Amex.

Can Cottagers stand firm?

Fulham boast a great Premier League record against Brighton and they caused them plenty of problems last term, but Marco Silva’s side appear to have taken a step back this time around. The visitors are coming into this having lost to nil against Chelsea and Tottenham in their last three, while they’ve already conceded nine times across visits to the top three in the league this term.

On their day, Brighton are an attacking outfit to fear. They’ve scored in 25 consecutive Premier League games and only Aston Villa and Newcastle have outscored the Seagulls so far this term. The visitors are struggling defensively but their Expected Goals Against tally suggests they’re getting away with how open they are.

Brighton are well-placed to exploit that and we could see another high-scoring win for the hosts.

Seagulls to secure another big win

Brighton have won by two clear goals in each of their Premier League wins this term, while each of Fulham’s defeats have been by a two-goal margin or greater. The hosts come into this off the back of another good win and they should prove too strong for the Cottagers.

The hosts have plenty of great options who can exploit Fulham’s defensive issues, with Evan Ferguson set to star this weekend. The Irishman has been their leading man in the Premier League, while his minutes in Europe have been limited. With four strikes across four home league games this term he’s proven himself dangerous at the Amex and he looks like a great option to score anytime.

The hosts are averaging 2.6 goals per home game this term and they can exploit a Fulham side who have shipped nine goals across their last four Premier League trips. Back the hosts to clear a -1 handicap in this outing.
