Fulham take on the visitors Brighton in the round 14 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, November 5th at Craven Cottage (London).
Fulham were once the epitome of a "yo-yo club," bouncing between the Premier League and Championship, until Marco Silva took the reins. Winning the Championship under his guidance was an expected achievement given the team's quality, but Silva managed what his predecessors could not: stabilizing Fulham in the Premier League. Now they are firmly in the mid-table mix, though without pushing for European ambitions. Last season, they accumulated 46 points to finish 13th. This campaign started promisingly, as Fulham avoided defeat for an extended period after narrowly losing to Manchester United early on. However, they suffered an embarrassing exit in the League Cup, losing on penalties to Preston. October marked the beginning of a decline: defeats to Manchester City and Aston Villa were expected, but the crushing home loss to relegation-battling Wolverhampton was a blow. Despite that setback, Fulham showed resilience, holding Tottenham to a 1-1 draw in their last match.

Brighton are taking this season seriously. The Seagulls have embraced European football, a reward for their rise under Roberto De Zerbi, who led them to top their Europa League group last year. However, their journey ended abruptly in the knockout rounds with a heavy loss to Roma. De Zerbi eventually left Brighton, seemingly bored with the Premier League, finishing close to Fulham in the standings. His replacement, young German Fabian Hürzeler, fresh off guiding St. Pauli to Bundesliga promotion, brought a new energy. The club also invested in a host of up-and-coming talents to align with his vision. This strategy has paid off, with Brighton remaining contenders for European qualification. However, a surprising recent stumble saw them drop points to bottom-placed Southampton in a shocking 1-1 draw.
Fulham surprisingly have an impressive record in this matchup, going unbeaten in their last eight official meetings with Brighton. The Cottagers have won three of the last four encounters. Fulham are slight favorites due to home advantage, but Brighton will be determined not to let points slip for a second consecutive game. This sets the stage for an open, competitive match. "Total Over 2.5 Goals" looks like the best bet given the attacking capabilities of both sides.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
