Brighton vs Fulham: Preview
Brighton form analysis
Albion’s recent Premier League matches highlight a team capable of threatening the top sides but also prone to heavy defeats. They started brightly by beating Man Utd 3-1 away thanks to goals from Welbeck, Gross and Pedro. However, defensive issues surfaced in a 1-3 home loss to Bournemouth, despite briefly equalizing. Things deteriorated in a 1-6 thrashing away at Aston Villa as Brighton crumbled after Estupinan’s own goal. But they showed spirit to draw 2-2 at home with Liverpool, coming from behind through Adingra and Dunk. Most recently though, Brighton narrowly lost 1-2 to Man City after Ansu Fati pulled one back in defeat.
Overall, Brighton have showcased their offensive talents like Mitoma and Welbeck under Roberto De Zerbi this season. But they remain too open defensively, conceding 11 goals in this run. Their best form will only come by striking the right balance.
Fulham form analysis
Fulham’s recent Premier League matches demonstrate a newly promoted side adapting well to life in the top flight under Marco Silva. They started positively by beating Luton Town 1-0 at home thanks to Carlos Vinicius’ goal. A gritty 0-0 away draw at Crystal Palace followed where Fulham’s defense impressed. However, Fulham’s attacking struggles resurfaced in a 0-2 home loss to Chelsea. But they rebounded with a determined 3-1 home win over Sheffield United, with own goals helping them overcome conceding first. Most recently though, Fulham were unable to build momentum as they lost 0-2 at home to Tottenham.
Overall, Fulham have been typically well organized under Silva, making them tough to beat. But creating chances has been an issue, scoring just 4 goals in this run. If Silva can get new signings like Vinicius fully fit and firing, Fulham have potential to pull clear of trouble. But finding more consistent goal threat to turn draws into wins is key. The ingredients are there for survival if Fulham can translate their grit into goals.
