Fulham vs Brighton preview
This match will be played on 05/12/2024 at Craven Cottage. Kick off will be at 20:00 GMT.
Following what was a shocking home defeat against a lowly Wolves side, the Cottagers needed to bounce back on Sunday, and bounce back they did as they went to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and secured what was a seemingly unlikely point.
Not only did the Cottagers pick up a point in North London, but they played very well, delivering an offensively minded display that saw them create numerous opportunities against a top-half team. Such an effort suggests that Marco Silva’s men can cause problems for a visiting side that has been far from defensively secure on the road this season.
For the visitors, the weekend was a bit of a washout. Kicking things off on Friday night, the Seagulls were hoping to raise the bar for those around them in the table, but that’s not what happened as strugglers Southampton managed to hold Fabian Hurzeler’s men to a draw at Amex Stadium.
In general, it hasn’t been a tale of woe for the south coasters, who’re sitting in a lofty fourth position, though consistency on the road is far from their strong suit, so we shouldn’t be too surprised if they endure a tricky evening in West London on Thursday.
Fulham vs Brighton Betting tips
Just one bet appeals ahead of Thursday’s fixture at Craven Cottage.
Fulham to Score Over 1.5 Goals
The hosts haven’t always exploded into goal-scoring life at Craven Cottage this season, but they’ve certainly looked to get on the front foot, scoring in each of their last six home games this term, notching an average of 1.66 goals.
One of the main catalysts here is the fact that Brighton have looked quite open on the road in recent times, keeping a clean sheet in just one of their last five away games in the league, conceding a total of eight goals during that time.
What’s more, the visitors have arguably been lucky not to concede more away goals this season, with them surrendering a rather hefty average of 2.00 xG per 90 minutes. Interestingly, only three Premier League teams have surrendered more expected goals on the road than the Seagulls.
