Brighton take on the visitors Fulham in the round 24 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 18th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton managed to become a contender for eurocups places this season. The Seagulls cope with a variety of challenges with brilliance. And in the summer, a lot of leading players left, and in January Trossard, the top scorer, left for Arsenal. And, most importantly, at the beginning of autumn Chelsea lured the manager, Potter. Quite unexpectedly, De Zerbi was called to replace Graham, although he did not work in England, and the Italian left a controversial impression with Shakhtar Donetsk. It took Roberto time to get used to the Albion and rebuild the team for himself. But now Albion are really good. They knocked out Liverpool in the FA Cup, and in the domestic league they gave out a long period without defeats, which allowed him to climb into European cups zone. Against this background, 1-1 with Crystal Palace already looks like a misfire.

Fulham have every reason to be pleased with their performance this season. The Cottages were a classic example of the concept of "football lift" in England in recent years. Strictly alternating seasons of performances in the Championship and the Premier League. So it was in 2021/2022, already under Marco Silva, when the London club was able to win the second-tier division. But everyone was wondering if the Cottagers could succeed in the Premier League under the Portuguese. The task was simply not to get relegated again and by February it became completely clear that the registration is now secured. Moreover, the results allow them to aim at the place in European competitions for next season - but do they want this? It seems that there is motivation - Mitrovic and company gave out 0-0 with Chelsea, after all, they went through Sunderland in the cup, winning the replay 3-2. And 2-0 with Nottingham Forest allows them to gain a foothold in 7th place in the Premier League.
Brighton cannot win 5 official head-to-heads meetings in a row. In August Fulham won again, this time 2-1. The Seagulls are considered a clear favorite. But both De Zerbi and Marco Silva love spectacular football - we expect “more than 2.5 goals” from the face-to-face meeting.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
