Brighton & Hove Albion travel to Fulham for a midweek English Premier League fixture as they look to maintain their fine start to the season.
Fulham head into Tuesday’s clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in their previous Premier League fixture. They took the lead through Aleksandar Mitrovic but succumbed to some late pressure from the Gunners.
It was a solid performance by Fulham but once again they failed to hold on for the win. This has been the story of their season so far as they have troubled their opponents but still have just one win from five matches across all competitions.
The problem for Fulham is one which tends to plague them on their return to the topflight. Marco Silva’s men have kept just one clean sheet this season, conceding eight goals in five matches across all competitions.
Brighton & Hove Albion maintained their fine start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Leeds United in their previous Premier League fixture. They were made to work had by Leeds but in the end, Pascal Gross’ effort midway through the second half proved to be the difference.
That result set a new club record for Brighton, who have now gone unbeaten in their last nine Premier League matches stretching back to last season. Graham Potter’s men have won four of their five matches across all competitions this season, a run that includes victories at Old Trafford and the London Stadium.
One area of Brighton’s game that appears to be going under the radar is their defensive work rate. The Seagulls have conceded just once this season and have kept clean sheets in their last four matches across all competitions.
How the bookies view it
The bookies have installed Brighton & Hove Albion as favourites with a win priced at 19/13 by SBK. A victory for Fulham is valued at 11/5 by Betfred while a draw is set at odds of 12/5 by Unibet.
Head to head
Brighton & Hove Albion have a 7-5 advantage with four draws from 16 previous matches against Fulham. However, the last two meetings between both teams have ended in 0-0 draws.
Players to watch
As always, Fulham will be banking on Alexandar Mitrovic, who is expected to trouble the Brighton defence with his strength and physical play. The striker has four goals already this season and is priced at 7/4 by bet365 to find the net on Tuesday.
One of the more impressive parts of Brighton’s campaign is that they have multiple attacking threats. However Pascal Gross appears to stand above the rest with three goals in four matches and is priced at 15/2 by bet365 to get on the score sheet on Tuesday.
