Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham continue their quest for a place in Europe next season as they square off in a Premier League fixture on Saturday. Currently level on points, both teams appear evenly matched at the moment and look set to cancel each other out.
Brighton & Hove Albion were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace in their previous Premier League fixture. Solly March's opener midway through the second half only lasted six minutes as they were quickly pegged back by the Eagles.
The Seagulls are still maintaining their push for a European finish and are currently sixth on the standings, four points off the top five. Roberto De Zerbi’s men head into Saturday’s clash unbeaten in their last seven matches, claiming five wins in that run.
The Amex Stadium is where Brighton have done some of their best work this season and have won their last three home matches. They have beaten Liverpool twice in that run and claimed a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth in their previous fixture in front of their fans.
Fulham have also been one of the surprise teams in the Premier League this season and are up there challenging for a European finish alongside Brighton. They are unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions, winning the last two.
The Cottagers claimed a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in their previous Premier League fixture with William and Manor Solomon getting the goals. That was a much needed win for Marco Silva’s men as it ended a run of two defeats and a draw in their last three matches.
Fulham also played out a 0-0 draw at Chelsea in their previous away fixture which will give them confidence heading to the Amex Stadium. Some of their recent results on the road include a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace and a 1-0 victory at Leicester City.
