Fulham vs Brighton Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both teams played a draw in their previous game. 

After battling an emphatic draw against Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham return to home action against Brighton in round 14 of the Premier League 2024-25 at Craven Cottage, aiming to continue their recent resurgence of form. 

Fulham have had a good start to the season in the league this season having accumulated 19 points from the opening 13 games to occupy a tenth spot in the standings. Marco Silva will be happy with the way his team is performing at the moment after coming from behind to secure a draw against Tottenham in the previous games. The Cottagers will be heading into this clash in confidence after getting the better of their opposition in the previous nin3 outings. 

Brighton on the other side have surprised everyone with their performance this season as they lurk fourth in the standings above reigning champions Manchester City. Fabian Hurzeler deserves the credit for turning Seagulls into an entertaining side who play some scintillating football at times. Having already beaten the likes of Manchester City, and Tottenham and a draw against Arsenal, you can expect Brighton to put a statement of intent this season by finishing higher in the standings.

Players to Watch

Alex Iwobi (Fulham)

Alex Iwobi has been a fine addition to the Fulham team after making another excellent start to the season. After a productive first campaign, the Nigerian international has carried on the form to the new season as well scoring three goals and assisting another three to take his tally to 6 G/A contributions. Apart from his goal contribution, Iwobi’s off-the-ball contribution has also been impressive as he covers an ample amount of ground for the team. 

Danny Welbeck (Brighton)

Danny Welbeck has made a fantastic start to the season scoring six goals to lead the goalscoring chart for the Seagulls. This season, he has looked in fine form scoring six from the opening 12 games while also adding another two assists to his name. However, he has struggled to replicate the same form in recent games after failing to score in five consecutive games. Hopefully, he adds a goal to name here in this game.
