Fulham vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 29/02/2024, 09:00  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 02/03/2024 at 02:00 in Premier League Prediction

12th placed Fulham host Brighton and Hove Albion who are seventh in the Premier League. Fulham will want to build on the excellent 2-1 win they had at Manchester United last weekend. They are 11 points above the relegation zone and still have a chance of making it into Europe next season. They trail their opponents by seven points so a win here would boost their hopes. The Cottagers have won seven of their home games in the Premier League this season. Their last home league fixture saw them beat Bournemouth 3-1. They have earned seven points from their last four home league matches played at Craven Cottage and drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture at Brighton.

The Seagulls were knocked out of the FA Cup by Wolves on Wednesday evening. Now they return to Premier League action and hopeful of another season in Europe. They are five points behind the top six but their current seventh might be good enough to get them into the Europa Conference League. They have only lost one of their last four league games but last week were held to a home 1-1 draw by Everton. Their away form is a bit of a problem with only four of 13 league fixtures being won. They won last time out at Sheffield United but had gone six without a win before that. We recommend a wager on Fulham to win or draw this match.
