Fulham vs Brighton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-03-01 15:00.
[p]Fulham recorded one of their most memorable Premier League results ever last Saturday, stunning Manchester United with a 97th-minute winner at Old Trafford. Despite that 2-1 triumph, they remained 12th, but with just seven points between themselves and upcoming seventh-placed opponents Brighton & Hove Albion, a spot in next season’s UEFA Conference League is not out of the question, with that target set to be more achievable if they can secure three points here. [/p]
[p]The West Londoners’ H2H record is extremely positive, having never lost in seven Premier League meetings (W3, D4). New heroes will be needed against the Seagulls this weekend though, as JoĂŁo Palhinha – who equalised in the reverse fixture (1-1) – is suspended, while Manor Solomon and Aleksandar Mitrović, who both scored against Brighton last term, are no longer at the club.[/p]
[p]A young Brighton side exited the FA Cup at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday (1-0), as Roberto De Zerbi deals with an injury crisis that threatens to derail his squad’s bid for a top-seven league finish and UEFA Europa League progression. At least six first-team regulars will miss the trip to Craven Cottage, with the East Sussex outfit desperate to end their winless record in London during 2023/24 (D2, L3). [/p]
[p]Only Arsenal (seven) and Liverpool (six) have scored at least four goals on more occasions than Brighton in the Premier League this season (five), including in a 5-0 thumping of Sheffield United in their last top-flight away outing. De Zerbi’s men have also been resilient, having gained 14 points in the league from losing positions this campaign – a tally only eclipsed by Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Liverpool.  [/p]
[p]Players to watch: After his winner last weekend, Alex Iwobi is enjoying his best-ever league season in front of goal (G4), with all four of his Fulham scoring appearances so far ending in victory. Simon Adingra, meanwhile, fashioned two assists for Ivory Coast as they lifted the Africa Cup of Nations title at the expense of Iwobi’s Nigeria, before netting twice for Brighton at Sheff Utd, taking his streak of goal contributions for club and country after the hour mark to six (G4, A2). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Fulham have conceded just once in the Premier League this term in the opening 15 minutes – a division-low.[/p]
