Fulham and Brighton both settled for 1-1 draws over the weekend, but it’s safe to say Fulham left their match with a bit more satisfaction.
Their point came from a gritty performance against Tottenham Hotspur, a game that saw them finish with ten men after Tom Cairney, the captain and goalscorer, was sent off. While Cairney’s absence might raise concerns, it’s worth noting that Fulham have remained unbeaten in the three league matches he’s missed this season, securing two wins and a draw. His absence, then, may not be as ominous as it first appears.
One thing Fulham have thrived on recently is their encounters with Brighton. The west Londoners are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with the Seagulls, claiming four victories and drawing four times. Even more impressive, they’ve won the last two head-to-heads at Craven Cottage. Late drama could very well be on the cards again, especially considering Fulham’s last two home matches featured a pair of goals after the 85th minute. The fans at Craven Cottage might want to stay in their seats until the final whistle.
On the other side, Brighton find themselves flying high in the Premier League, sitting in fourth place with 23 points from 13 matches—their best-ever tally at this stage of the competition. Despite that, their recent draw against bottom-of-the-table Southampton left a bitter taste. It was a match many expected them to win comfortably, especially on home turf. Still, Brighton have been formidable on the road this season. Only Liverpool and Chelsea have picked up more away wins than the Seagulls, who have secured three victories on their travels so far.
To maintain their upward trajectory, Brighton will need to tighten up defensively. Their last clean sheet came over a month ago, against Newcastle United in mid-October. That said, they’ve shown resilience early in matches, having yet to concede a goal within the first ten minutes this season. It’s a testament to their ability to start games with focus and organization at the back.
Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has been a standout performer lately. His assist for the equalizer against Spurs added to his impressive tally of six goal involvements this season—just one shy of his total for the entire previous campaign. Iwobi’s form has been a bright spot for Fulham and will be crucial as they look to maintain their unbeaten run against Brighton.
Meanwhile, Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma is aiming to make history of his own. His powerful header against Southampton marked his second consecutive Premier League goal, and now he’s eyeing a third in a row—a feat he’s yet to achieve in the competition. Mitoma’s pace, precision, and knack for being in the right place at the right time make him a constant threat for opposing defenses.
A key trend to watch for Brighton is their dominance in the first half of matches. They’ve led at halftime in eight games this season—a joint league-high. If they can continue that trend, it could put them in a strong position to end their winless streak against Fulham. However, Fulham’s late-game heroics mean this one might not be settled until the very end.
As these two sides prepare to face off, there’s plenty on the line for both. Fulham will be eager to extend their unbeaten run against a high-flying Brighton, while the Seagulls will look to prove their credentials as genuine top-four contenders. With both teams capable of late drama, expect a thrilling contest that could swing either way in the dying minutes.
