Brighton vs Fulham: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 1st September 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Amex Stadium

Match Preview:

Brighton will be happy to return home to the Amex because their away form has been poor so far, losing both games. However, at home they were able to beat Manchester United, so will want to build on that with 3 much needed points at the weekend.

Last weekend Brighton lost to Liverpool but the score only ended 1-0 and the players would have taken something from that, as keeping the likes of Salah, Mane, and Firmino to just one goal is no easy task. They have had a difficult run of back to back games and will see Fulham as a side that they have a chance of beating.

As for Fulham they started the Premier League campaign with two losses but recovered last weekend to beat Burnley, and they did it in style winning the game 4-2. However that was at Craven Cottage and questions will still remain about how they can perform on the road.

 

Brighton vs Fulham Team News:

Brighton: Bruno is ruled out with a hamstring injury and Jose Izquierdo is hoping to be back after a minor knock

Fulham: Tom Cairney has an ankle injury but is recovering quick but is still a doubt for this game

 

Brighton vs Fulham Head to Head:

The last time the teams played here was in 2016 where Brighton won 2-1.

Brighton have scored 9 goals against Fulham in their last 3 competitive meetings.

The correct score of 2-1 to either side has been good in 4 of their last 6 matches.

 

Brighton vs Fulham Prediction:

Do Brighton hold all of the cards? Because as much as their victory over Manchester United was hailed, most agreed that United did not play well. Other than that Brighton have not been able to get another win and this game could be very close. However we will back the away side to come away with something from this game. It is these types of games that will tell us if Brighton will have a season where they might struggle but be strong at home.
