Our prediction for this Premier League match:
After failing to spoil Man City’s party at Etihad Stadium, Brighton will look to return to winning ways when they welcome Fulham to their Amex Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Seagulls aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and this seems like a perfect opportunity for them to do so. All Pervis Estupinan, Julio Enciso, Jakub Moder, and Tariq Lamptey miss out with injuries for the home side, while Danny Welbeck should be fit for the match despite limping off with injury against Pep Guardiola’s troops.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Tottenham on Monday evening and given their poor winless run on the travels, we predict that Brighton are going to get back on course in the Premier League this weekend. All Issa Diop, Kenny Tete, Adama Traore, and Tosin Adarabioyo are out of contention with injuries for the capital club.
