Fulham will be chasing a second straight win in the Premier League when they welcome Brighton to Craven Cottage this weekend. Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in the competition to three matches.
Premier League Preview
It was a stunning weekend in the Premier League for Fulham last time out, as the Cottagers caused a major shock by landing maximum points at Old Trafford against Man United. That shock win means that the club now sits 12th in the standings, and they could move level on points with arch-rivals Chelsea if they claim a win this weekend.
Their win last weekend was their second in three matches, and it has moved them comfortably toward the middle of the league standings. It was their best performance of the season last weekend at the Theatre of Dreams, and they were unfortunate not to have built up a sizable lead in the first half. However, Alex Iwobi eventually netted the winning goal, which was the second-latest winning goal for a visiting side at Old Trafford.
Brighton will be the visitors to Craven Cottage this weekend, as the Seagulls bid to enhance their chances of finishing in a European spot this term. They come into this match sitting seventh in the standings, but they are just five points behind fifth spot. Brighton have recorded two wins in their last four matches.
However, they were held to a frustrating draw in their latest fixture in the competition after failing to find a winning goal in a 1-1 tie against Everton. The draw ensured that they have now gone eleven home matches without defeat at home, but they have kept just one clean sheet across that period in the Premier League.
Fulham vs Brighton Head to Head
Draws have been a very common outcome when these sides have clashed in the Premier League, with four of the last seven ending level. However, Brighton are winless in Premier League clashes against the Cottagers, with their latest win coming in the Championship in January 2017.
Fulham vs Brighton Prediction
Brighton’s record against their rivals would be a concern ahead of this fixture on Saturday. Therefore, it could be worth keeping faith with the in-form hosts to land a second straight victory in the Premier League this weekend.
