Brighton
Fabian Hürzeler's side has secured three consecutive victories in the league, a feat they haven't achieved in the Premier League since September 2023. During this run, the club thrashed Southampton 4-0 away, and defeated Chelsea 3-0 and Bournemouth 2-1 at home. This has lifted the team to eighth place in the table, just four points shy of the Champions League zone. Additionally, Brighton has won five of their last seven Premier League matches.
- No more than three goals have been scored in Brighton's last five home Premier League matches.
- Both teams have scored in 8 of Brighton's last 12 home league games.
- The club has not conceded more than one goal in 7 of their last 8 home Premier League games.

Bart Verbruggen – Tariq Lamptey, Jan Paul van Hecke, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupiñán – Carlos Baleba, Diego Gómez – Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Jorginho Rutter – João Pedro Jesus.
Defender Tariq Lamptey is suspended for one match. Defenders Lewis Dunk and Ferdi Kadıoğlu, goalkeeper Jason Steele, and midfielder James Milner are out due to injuries.
Fulham
The Londoners have yet to win three consecutive matches in the current championship. However, the club has achieved three series of two victories in this Premier League season. In February, Marco Silva's side defeated Newcastle and Nottingham Forest 2-1, followed by a 0-2 loss to Crystal Palace. In the last round, Fulham triumphed 2-1 away against Wolverhampton. The team is just one point below Brighton in the table.
- A maximum of three goals have been scored in Fulham's last six Premier League matches.

Brighton vs. Fulham: Match Prediction
Since Brighton's promotion to the Premier League in 2017, the opponents have faced each other nine times. In these encounters, the Londoners have not lost a single match, securing five wins and four draws. In four meetings at the Amex in the Premier League, there have been three draws and one win for Fulham.
I expect this trend to continue – the Londoners will not lose again. Brighton has already achieved three consecutive victories in the league, which is a long winning streak for the club. Furthermore, they have never won four consecutive Premier League matches. Fulham is dangerous both at home and away and has won their last three away Premier League games. Therefore, I favor the prediction – "Fulham to win or draw"
