- Brighton is predicted to be a -0.5-goal home favorite against Fulham.
- The underdog has won four of Fulham's last five EPL matches.
- My Brighton vs. Fulham prediction is the total over 2.5 goals.
Seeking a fourth straight league win, Brighton welcome Fulham to the Amex Stadium.
The Seagulls captured a dramatic FA Cup win over Newcastle over the weekend. In their last league fixture, Brighton captured a 2-1 home win over Bournemouth.
Fulham also captured an FA Cup win over Manchester United. They’ve also won three of their last four in the league, including a 2-1 win over Wolves last week.
Check out the Premier League odds and my Brighton vs. Fulham prediction.

Brighton vs. Fulham Prediction
Based on Fulham’s offensive record away from home and Brighton’s recent offensive strength, my Brighton vs. Fulham prediction is Over 2.5 Goals (-140).
The last match between these sides proved extremely eventful with Fulham capturing a 3-1 win.
The underlying metrics suggest that scoreline proved a bit lucky – the sides combined for 2.12 expected goals and 2.03 post-shot xG – but the venue change matters in this instance.
Fulham’s attack, for some odd reason, has performed better away from home. Marco Silva’s side has created 19.9 xG on the road compared to 18.1 at home, per fbref.com.
Dating back to their road match against Crystal Palace on November 9, Fulham have cleared 1.5 goals in all but one match.
Across those eight games, they’ve created 13.3 xG and 13.1 post-shot xG, per fbref.com.
But Fulham runs into a Brighton attack that has posted strong metrics lately.
The Seagulls have created 7.7 expected goals over their last three matches. Even if you only sample their home match against Chelsea, it’s 1.4 xG and 1.8 post-shot xG.
Lastly, history likes this match clearing 2.5 goals.
Since last season, matches featuring a total set at 2.5 goals are 33-9 to the over, assuming two factors:
- The road team’s average number of goals scored falls between 1.5 and 2
- The road team’s average number of goals allowed falls between 1.2 and 1.5
When the home team is a favorite within that sample, it improves to 20-4 to the over.
As a result, I like goals to flow on Saturday at the Amex.
