Brighton and Hove Albion and Fulham will face each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between the Seagulls and the Cottagers will be held at the Falmer Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday.
Brighton and Hove Albion
Brighton and Hove Albion are doing extremely well in the Premier League at the moment. When Graham Potter left for Chelsea earlier in the campaign, some Brighton fans would have been worried about the team, but under his successor, Roberto De Zerbi, the Seagulls have gone from strength to strength.
The Seagulls are sixth in the Premier League table at the moment with 35 points from 21 matches. Brighton are only six points behind Newcastle United, who are currently fourth in the Premier League table and occupy the final UEFA Champions League spot. The Magpies, though, have played 22 games. Now, while it is unlikely that Brighton will be able to finish in the Premier League top four, they are certainly in with a shout of ending up in the UEFA Europa League spots.
Brighton will head into the match against Fulham on the back of a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London in the Premier League. It came after a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at home in the league and allowed a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in front of their own fans in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Team News:
Brighton and Hove Albion are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Undav is set to lead the line for the Seagulls, with Marsch, Mac Allister and Mitoma the three attacking players behind him. Gross and Caicedo will be the two sitting midfielders. Sanchez will be in goal for Brighton.
Fulham
Like Brighton and Hove Albion, Fulham are also doing extremely well at the moment and could end up in the UEFA Europa League places in the Premier League table this season. The Cottagers won promotion from the Championship at the end of the last campaign and have defied expectations.
Marco Silva’s side are seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with 35 points from 23 matches. Fulham are level on points with sixth-placed Brighton and Hove Albion, who have played 21 games. The Cottagers are unlikely to challenge for the UEFA Champions League places in the Premier League table this season, but they could well end up in the UEFA Europa League.
Fulham will head into the match against Brighton and Hove Albion on the back of 2-0 win against relegation candidates Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage in London in the Premier League. It came after a 3-2 victory over Sunderland away from home at the Stadium of Light in the fourth round of the FA Cup and followed a goalless draw with Chelsea in London in the Premier League.
Team News:
Fulham are set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Mitrovic will lead the line for the London club. Willian and Pereira will start in attacking midfielder. Leno will be in goal. Reed and Joao Palhinha will be the two sitting midfielders for the Cottagers.
Key Factors to Consider:
- Brighton and Hove Albion have scored 39 goals in 21 Premier League matches.
- Brighton and Hove Albion have conceded 28 goals in 21 Premier League matches.
- Fulham have conceded 30 goals in 23 Premier League games.
- Fulham have scored 34 goals in 23 Premier League games.
- Aleksandar Mitrovic have scored 11 goals and given one assist in 19 Premier League matches.
Conclusion
Brighton and Hove Albion and Fulham are two very good teams, and we can expect the Premier League game between them this coming weekend to be very entertaining and competitive. It is very likely that this will be a low-scoring affair and could end in a draw.
