Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham Prediction

Brighton's 61 points last season was the second-highest tally in their history. However, they still fell four points short of the top seven and consequently missed out on European qualification. Their victory in the most recent head-to-head game ended their nine-game winless run in this fixture during which they lost five games.

Fulham, for their part, were also in the running for continental qualification last term. However, a terrible end to the campaign saw them lose five of their final seven league games to drop out of the top half. They won all three pre-season games but have had a relatively quiet transfer window to this point.

Backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Fulham
