Fulham v Brighton

Fulham vs Brighton Preview

Fulham registered an impressive and totally deserved 2-1 win away from home against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend in the Premier League and although this was only Fulham's third win in their last 10 matches overall in the top flight, this result nevertheless maintained The Cottagers' position of 12th place in the table, while Brighton were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Everton at the AMEX Stadium.

Fulham have picked up wins against Arsenal and Bournemouth in recent times in 2-1 and 3-1 victories respectively, both of which were also gained on home soil at Craven Cottage but Marco Silva's side have also slipped to five defeats as well within this period which has prevented the London club from lifting themselves up into the top half of the Premier League table.

Defeats at the hands of Newcastle United, Burnley, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Aston Villa suggest the straight win markets may be a little too risky but the prospect of a few goals here this Saturday looks inviting especially as seven of Fulham's last 10 matches have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Results and form at Craven Cottage do give Fulham a chance of a result here as The Cottagers have lost just twice in their previous eight home games.

Brighton still occupy seventh place in the Premier League table but The Seagulls find themselves eight points adrift of fifth placed Tottenham and the last of the European spots ahead of this weekend's action in the Premier League.

Marco Silva's side have made themselves tough to beat again this term but the visitors have also been involved in perhaps one too many draws in this campaign as well, and having actually collected just three wins from their last 11 matches overall in the Premier League, the goals market may well be the safest option for this upcoming encounter.

Nevertheless, resounding wins against Tottenham 4-2, Crystal Palace 4-1 and a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United away from home at Bramall Lane will still give The Seagulls confidence that they can travel to the nation's capital this Saturday afternoon and get something out of this clash.

However, Brighton will need to produce an improved performance this Saturday as the visitors have managed to register just two wins from their last 11 outings on the road, slipping to six defeats in the process but seven of these 11 away games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Fulham v Brighton Verdict

Both Fulham and Brighton have been involved in a number of high-scoring games of late in the Premier League and Saturday's clash at Craven Cottage may be no exception as both sides will fancy their chances of walking away with all three points here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.61
