Brighton vs Fulham Predictions

• Brighton have won eight of their last ten games in all competitions
• Both teams have scored in ten of Fulham’s last 13 matches
• Georginio Rutter has eight goals in all competitions

Brighton on the up

Brighton’s 7-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest recently looked like it may derail their entire season, particularly as it came so soon after another defeat to Everton.

However since then Brighton have won four league and cup games and edged Newcastle in extra-time on Sunday to secure a spot in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Fabian Hurzeler has done a good jon of instilling determination in his team, who came from 1-0 down against the Magpies to win 2-1, and they have picked up some big scalps recently.

On top of their cup victory over Newcastle, Albion have beaten Chelsea in back-to-back games, recorded a 4-0 victory over Southampton and beaten highflying Bournemouth all in the last month.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side now have an outside chance of a top-four finish, they currently sit four points behind Manchester City in fourth spot.

Can Cottagers stand firm?

They face a tough test on Saturday as they host Fulham, who also secured progress to the next round of the FA Cup after beating Manchester United on penalties following a 1-1 draw in normal time.

The Cottagers have come out on the right side of a number of close encounters recently, four of their last six games in all competitions have been 2-1 wins.

They have suffered defeats to Crystal Palace, Manchester United and West Ham since the turn of the year however and could see themselves on the wrong end of another loss when they visit the south coast.

Marco Silva’s men will be without key midfielder Sasa Lukic after he picked up his tenth yellow card of the campaign in their last Premier League game.

Tricky winger Adama Traore could also be absent with an ankle injury and Brighton have a deeper squad than the visitors.

Seagulls to secure another big win

Brighton have now won eight of their last ten matches in all competitions and they could extend that run with another victory over this Fulham side.

Ten of Fulham’s last 13 games in all competitions have seen both teams find the net and a repeat of that is fancied at the Amex.

Correct score backers should consider a 2-1 victory for Brighton in what looks set to be a competitive affair.

No Brighton player has scored more goals this season than Georginio Rutter’s eight and he has been in ultra-impressive form recently, scoring twice and registering two assists in his last five matches.

Their record signing is a tempting price to get on the scoresheet in this one.
