Brighton vs Fulham Prediction
Brighton have won their last three league games and are in the hunt for European qualification. Their nine games without victory in this fixture is the longest they have gone without a win against any side.
Concordantly, it's also the longest Fulham have remained unbeaten against any side. Including the shootout victory against Manchester United, they have won their last five away games. Furthermore, their six wins are one short of their best away record in terms of wins in a Premier League season.
Both sides are competing for qualification to Europe, so expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
