Brighton v Fulham

Brighton vs Fulham Preview

Brighton made it five wins on the trot in all competitions last weekend when they registered a 2-1 win in extra-time away from home at Newcastle United at St James' Park in the 5th round of the FA Cup, which will give The Seagulls a welcome boost ahead of this upcoming encounter at home against Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

Fulham picked up a fifth win in six matches in all competitions last Saturday when The Cottagers prevailed in a penalty shoot-out away from home at Manchester United in the 5th round of the FA Cup after the scores were level at 1-1 after extra-time, and the visitors will be in confident mood as they prepare for this trip down to the south coast on Saturday afternoon.

Brighton had previously accounted for another Premier League side, namely Chelsea, in the previous round of the FA Cup as The Seagulls ran out 2-1 winners at home along with collecting important and useful looking wins in the English top flight against Chelsea, Southampton and Bournemouth respectively.

The bigger picture shows Brighton have slipped to just two defeats within their previous 11 matches overall in the domestic top flight, but out of their five victories collected within this period, only two have been achieved on home soil at their AMEX Stadium.

Fulham will also feel confident about their chances of producing a result down on the south coast at the AMEX Stadium as The Cottagers have won five out of their last six games overall, four of which have been achieved on their travels.

Despite being handed a dismal 2-0 loss at home by Crystal Palace, Fulham have collected wins in the FA Cup against Wigan Athletic and Manchester United along with wins in the Premier League at the expense of Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Wolves respectively.

The bigger picture shows Fulham have been handed just three defeats within their last 18 matches as the London club have made themselves a tough side to beat under the guidance of manager, Marco Silva, while results away from home have seen Fulham produce an excellent string of results in recent times.

Indeed, Fulham have won their last five away games on the trot which suggests The Cottagers should not be ruled out in terms of producing a positive result at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday afternoon, especially as the visitors have lost just once in their last eight outings on their travels.

Brighton v Fulham Verdict

Fulham have enjoyed the lion's share of success in previous exchanges against Brighton as The Cottagers are unbeaten in their last five meetings against The Seagulls, along with picking up four wins in the process, thus making Fulham a value proposition here.
