Fulham vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips (2 March)

Comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Fulham is currently 12th in the Premier League and is preparing to experience the end of the championship without much at stake. Since their elimination in the round of 32 of the FA Cup, the Cottagers have only lost one league match, with 2 wins and 2 draws. They suffered this setback against Aston Villa at home 1-2. Last weekend, Fulham reacted brilliantly by winning to everyone's surprise on the Manchester United pitch 1-2. Declared candidate for European places this season, Brighton today occupies 7th place in the Premier League which could be qualified for the C4 depending on the identity of the winner of the FA Cup.

However, the Seagulls have been struggling with their football for several weeks, as evidenced by the only 2 successes gleaned over the last 7 days, for 3 draws and 2 defeats. After easily winning at bottom side Sheffield United 0-5, they were held to a draw at home by Everton last weekend 1-1. This week, Brighton lost to Wolverhampton in the round of 16 of the FA Cup 1-0. Next Thursday, Roberto De Zerbi's men travel to Roma for the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League.

For Fulham, the important Mexican striker Raul Jimenez (5 goals in PL) is still not fit this weekend. In addition, midfield boss Joao Palhinha has not finished serving his suspension. Also absent on the last day, potentially starting winger Willian (4 goals and 2 assists in PL) is available again.

Returning to the starting 11 last weekend, Nigerian internationals Bassey (defender) and Iwobi (winger) both scored against Manchester United. On the attacking front, the Brazilian Rodrigo Muniz should once again take his place (4 goals in the last 4 days).
