Brighton vs Fulham odds
Before the start of the season there were some questions as to how Brighton would manage to juggle the Europa League and Premier League. For some, the Premier League form could slip, but in fact it has been the European tour which has suffered. The Seagulls haven’t been great on the continent, but put that right with 2-0 win over struggling Ajax on Thursday. They currently sit seventh in the Premier League with 16 points from their opening nine games, with only the top five winning more games than Brighton’s five this season. However, there was a little wobble before the international break with a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Aston Villa and 2-2 draw with Liverpool, and the defeat to Manchester City.
The Seagulls are winless in their last three Premier League games (D1 L2), their longest winless run since winning none of their first five games under Roberto De Zerbi in October 2022. Indeed, the Seagulls have won just one of their last 15 league games in October (D8 L6), a 4-1 win against Chelsea on the exact date of this game last year (October 29th, 2022).
Fulham, meanwhile, sit in the bottom half of the table with 11 points from their opening nine games. The Cottagers won just one of their opening four matches but have slightly steadied the ship since. There have been victories over Luton and Sheffield United, as well as a draw against Crystal Palace, alongside defeats to Chelsea and Tottenham.
Marco Silva’s side did the Premier League double over Brighton last season and are looking to win three consecutive league games against the Seagulls for the first time since 1986 in the second tier.

Brighton vs Fulham match tip
Double Chance: Fulham/Draw @ 13/8 with Sky Bet
Fulham have had Brighton’s number in the top flight. The Cottagers are unbeaten in all six of their Premier League games against the Seagulls.

Brighton vs Fulham Bet-Builder tip
BTTS > Brighton most corners > Brighton most cards
Brighton have shown some defensive weaknesses of late, conceding at least two goals in each of their past three matches. These two sides are pretty close on corners this season with Brighton slightly edging at 49 to Fulham’s 42. Brighton also come out on top when it comes to yellow cards, though that’s an unwanted stat, with only four teams being booked more than the Seagulls this season.
