Brighton take on the visitors Fulham in the round 28 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, March 8th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Fabian Hürzeler’s Brighton have shown inconsistency under their young German manager, which is expected in his first Premier League season. However, they are currently in fantastic form. Last weekend, Brighton overcame Newcastle in the FA Cup, securing a 2-1 victory after extra time. That win extended their streak to five consecutive victories across all competitions. Mitoma, Welbeck, João Pedro, and company are firing on all cylinders, with Brighton adopting an attacking approach that has produced three straight high-scoring wins in the league. A commanding 3-0 victory over Chelsea, a 4-0 thrashing of Southampton, and a hard-fought 2-1 win against Bournemouth have reignited their European qualification hopes. Although they sit eighth in the table, a win against Fulham could push them even higher, keeping the top four within reach. The only concern is their lengthy injury list, with Dunk, Igor, Lamptey, Milner, Enciso, Steele, and Veltman all unavailable. Still, they have been able to adapt well, with their offensive firepower compensating for defensive absences.

Fulham Struggles with Consistency but Remains Competitive. The Cottagers have been less stable than Brighton but continue to compete at a high level in the Premier League. Marco Silva’s side is now in its third consecutive top-flight season, playing an attacking, possession-based style that doesn’t always translate into results. However, recent performances have been encouraging. Fulham first secured a crucial 2-1 away win over Wolves in the league before knocking Manchester United out of the FA Cup at Old Trafford, prevailing on penalties after a 1-1 draw. They remain in contention for European qualification, sitting ninth and just one point behind Brighton. Their away record remains a concern, with only three wins in their last 12 league matches on the road. Moreover, defensive absences could be an issue, with Lukic (suspension), Nelson, Tete, and Wilson all sidelined. This could further expose their backline against Brighton’s aggressive offensive play.
These two sides are direct rivals for European spots, both in the league and the FA Cup, making this an exciting fixture from a neutral perspective. The emphasis on attacking football is evident, while defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed at times. In the reverse fixture, Fulham secured a 3-1 win at Craven Cottage, but Brighton will be eager to return the favor. The last two meetings between these sides have comfortably gone over the goal line, and given their current attacking form, another high-scoring affair is highly likely. Expect an open, entertaining match with plenty of chances at both ends.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
