Two Surprise Packages Meet in the Premier League as Brighton Host Fulham
3622

There are several games to be played in the English Premier League on Saturday the 18th of February, including the clash between Brighton and Fulham.

The match will be played at the American Express Community Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 6th place on 35 points while the visitors are on the same number of points but one place lower on goal difference.

Brighton come into the game having been held to a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend. The Seagulls opened the scoring in the 63rd minute but Crystal Palace struck back only 6 minutes later to take a point.

Brighton will feel they should have taken maximum points having had a goal wrongly ruled out by VAR.

That result means Brighton are undefeated in their 7 most recent games in all competitions. They have beat Everton, Liverpool, and Bournemouth in the Premier League plus Middlesbrough and Liverpool in the FA Cup. There have been draws at Leicester City and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Trends show Brighton have not been beaten in 9 of their 10 most recent matches in all competitions. They have won 3 consecutive home games and have won 3 of their last 5 at home in the Premier League. Brighton have kept clean sheets in each of their last 2 home league fixtures.

Fulham travel to the American Express Community Stadium on the back of a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. The Cottagers opened the scoring in the 17th minute and made sure of the points with a second goal 2 minutes from the end of the match.

The win over Nottingham Forest means Fulham are undefeated in their last 4 games in all competitions. There have been wins over Sunderland away in the FA Cup and Nottingham Forest at home in the Premier League. There have also been draws against Sunderland at home in the FA Cup and Chelsea away in the Premier League.

Trends show Fulham are unbeaten in 9 of their last 11 fixtures in all competitions and they have lost only 1 of their last 4 away league games. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in each of Fulham’s last 3 away Premier League matches and they have failed to find the back of the net in their last 2 games on the road.

Looking ahead to the team news and Brighton are expected to be without the injured trio of Danny Welbeck, Levi Colwill, and Adam Lallana.

Fulham will be without Willian and Tom Cairney who are in the treatment room. They also have doubts over the fitness of Neeskens Kebano.

Both teams know a win here could propel them into the race for the top four and Champions League football. This is going to be a tight game, with few goals and one strike could be enough to take maximum points. With the home advantage, we believe Brighton will come out on top, winning 1-0.
