Brighton vs. Fulham Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Brighton vs. Fulham

Fresh from their historic maiden European victory, Brighton & Hove Albion return to Premier League action on Sunday as they welcome Fulham to the Amex Stadium.

The Seagulls secured their first-ever Europa League win by defeating the struggling Ajax 2-0 on Thursday, while Marco Silva’s team most recently suffered a 2-0 loss to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

As hosts to a team that was on the brink of Champions League stardom as recently as the 2018-19 season, Brighton upheld their trend of outperforming their previous attempts in the Europa League. In the initial two matchdays, their hopes of securing inaugural victories were thwarted by AEK Athens and Marseille.

Nonetheless, the perennial Dutch champions, Ajax, have been undergoing a concerning decline and failed to receive the expected boost from a new manager after the dismissal of Maurice Steijn. In the encounter on the South Coast, Brighton extended Ajax’s misfortune with a well-earned 2-0 victory, during which Joao Pedro and Ansu Fati etched their names into Seagulls’ history.

What to remember – Brighton vs. Fulham

Brighton hasn’t experienced a favorable result against Fulham since their days in the Championship, but it seems that the Cottagers’ successful run is destined to conclude on Sunday.

Even though their hosts are dealing with fatigue and the unavailability of March and Welbeck, Fulham’s persistent struggle to find an attacking formula, especially without Aleksandar Mitrovic, is likely to result in another fruitless and scoreless outing against De Zerbi’s resurgent squad.
