Fulham vs Brighton prediction 05.12.2024 | Premier League

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Thursday, 5th December, 2024
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
• Venue: Craven Cottage (London)

Fulham came to this season after an excellent one last year when they finished 13th, 21 points away from the danger zone. This year, the popular Cottagers continued with excellent performances and are looking like at least a mid-table team. They are now in 10th place with 19 points, much closer to the European spots than the danger zone. Currently, they are just three points away from 6th place, which would guarantee them a European appearance.

Brighton are definitely a team on the rise. They became a team that regularly fights for Europe but failed to reach it last season, primarily due to constant injury problems. However, as they focused only on domestic competitions this year, the Seagulls are doing great. Right now, they are in fourth place with 23 points, two points away from the second-placed Arsenal.

Fulham vs Brighton pick: Over 2.5 goals

This season, Fulham are playing almost exclusively high-scoring games at home. At Craven Cottage, they were over 2.5 goals in 83% of their Premier League games. The only time they were under was against West Ham, but even then, we saw two goals (1:1).

Meanwhile, Brighton often went over 2.5 goals in recent matches. In the last ten games, they went over this line on eight occasions. They are generally an offense-oriented team, so constant high-scoring games aren't really a surprise.

In the previous h2h game, Fulham won 3:0, but Brighton had so many chances and deserved to score at least a couple of goals as well.

Considering all the above, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the best option for this Premier League tie.
