Prediction: 1-0
Fulham
As expected, Brighton were beaten by Liverpool at Anfield in their last league match, but it has to be noted that the Seagulls missed a clear-cut chance to score the equalizer in the dying minutes of the game. Brighton have been producing fine performances at the start of the season and seeing that they outplayed star-studded Manchester United in their last home game, it is no surprise they are considered favourites to beat Fulham in Saturday’s football match. The Cottagers suffered a 3-1 loss to Tottenham at Wembley Stadium in their last away game and seeing that they produce much better displays at home than on the travels, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the American Express Community Stadium clash. Experienced attacker Glen Murray is widely expected to lead the line for the Seagulls against Fulham, whereas Aleksandar Mitrovic will be deployed up front as a lone forward for the visitors.

Highlighted Player (Niki Maenpaa):
Niki Maenpaa played for the likes of Kasiysi and HJK during his youth career and in 2003 he joined RC Lens II. The Goalkeeper who was born on 23 January 1985 in Espoo, Finland made 17 appearances for Lens II and in 2006 he signed a contract with Dutch side FC Den Bosch. Niki Maenpaa made 67 league appearances for Den Bosch until 2009 and then he joined Willem II on a free transfer. After playing 18 matches for the club (league) he joined AZ Alkmaar in October, 2011, but he was a third-choice goalkeeper in the 2011/2012 Eredivisie campaign. Maenpaa was eager to leave the club at the end of the season and he turned his dream into reality on 29 May, 2012 as he signed a three-year deal with VVV-Venlo. After his contract with Venlo expired Niki Maenpaa joined Brighton in July, 2015 on a free transfer. The goalkeeper made his Finland debut on 2 June 2008 in a friendly match against Belarus. Maenpaa made three appearances for the Finnish national team in the 2016 World Cup qualifiers.
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Championship. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition. Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight. Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League. The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
