LiontipsFulham vs Brighton. Prediction (odds 3.60) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Fulham are spending another season as a solid mid-table team, with no significant breakthrough in their play or results. With 19 points scored, the Cottagers are approaching the upcoming home game in tenth place in the league table. The team is in good shape – in the previous five rounds, there was only one defeat to Wolverhampton (1:4), when the game was not going well at all. In the last match, Marco Silva’s charges took points away from Tottenham in the London derby (1:1). It should be noted that the Cottagers have allowed themselves two misfires on their home field since the beginning of the season: in addition to the unsuccessful match with Wolverhampton, there was also a defeat to Aston Villa in October (1:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Cairney and Lukic will serve suspensions. Reed, Andersen and Cuenca are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Fulham have drawn in the first half in three of their last five matches
- The Cottagers have not lost in 9 of their previous 12 Premier League matches
Probable line-up: Leno - Tete, Diop, Bassi, Robinson - Pereira, Berge - Iwobi, Smith-Rowe, Nelson - Jimenez.
Current form
Brighton is still vying for a place in the top four, although the team lacks stability. First of all, the Seagulls often lose points in matches with teams from the lower part of the table, when they do not have enough strength to win with class. Thus, in the last round there was a home draw with Southampton (1:1), although before that they managed to win with the same score 2:1 against stronger opponents, Manchester City and Bournemouth. In the tournament table on the eve of the start of the 14th round, Fabian Hürzeler charges are in fourth place with 23 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Veltman, March, Milner and Webster are all out injured, while Gruda, Kadioglu and Hinshelwood are doubtful.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brighton have won in the first half in three of their last four matches
- In eight of the Seagulls' previous nine Premier League encounters, both teams have scored goals
Tentative lineup: Verbruggen - Lamptey, van Hecke, Dank, Estupignan - Minte, Baleba, Ayari, Mitoma - Pedro, Welbeck.

6.60Tip and bets
The upcoming match will feature largely equal opponents. Brighton has been performing slightly better this season, but regularly experiences difficulties in matches with less than top opponents. Fulham has the home field factor and a significant advantage in personal meetings on its side. At the same time, the "summer residents" have significant problems with their squad, and are unlikely to take three points. We think there is a high probability of a draw in the game between largely equal opponents.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.60
Bet on total
In their last seven head-to-head encounters, Fulham and Brighton have never scored more than three goals between them. We don't think we should expect a lot of goals in today even and tough game.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.82
Bet on corners
Note that Brighton have not taken more than five corner kicks in 9 of their last 11 away Premier League games, so we recommend another betting option.
Forecast - Brighton corners total under 5.5 with odds of 1.58
