The Premier League returns this weekend with a full slate of fixtures as we prepare to enter the month of March. There’s a lot of excitement and tension in the air at both ends of the table and with so much on the line, there are plenty of reasons to feel hyped about what’s ahead. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Fulham and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Fulham Form GuideBetween fan protests and some questionable results in the league, the vibe isn’t particularly great at Fulham right now. The Cottagers certainly aren’t one of the favourites to go down, but we aren’t at the point where they can be ruled out either. There are question marks surrounding the ownership and if that doesn’t change soon, they could quickly begin to snowball.
Fulham went on the road to Old Trafford last Saturday and despite facing adversity, they were clearly the better team against Manchester United - and in the dying seconds of the game, they scored a dramatic winner to ensure they walked away as 2-1 winners.
Brighton Form GuideBrighton & Hove Albion are the kind of club that can beat anyone in the league on their day - such is the successful nature of their recruiting strategy in the last few years. They’re also going pretty well in both the FA Cup and Europa League, and while they’ve had a few hiccups here and there, there’s a lot of positive energy flowing through the club right now.
Brighton played host to Everton on Saturday and despite going down to ten men, they still did enough to earn a point in a 1-1 draw. With that being said, there’s certainly a long way to go for them if they want to return to their European exploits.
Match PredictionBoth teams could use a big win to boost their respective fortunes, but we’re not so sure they’re functioning at a high enough level right now to feel confident about their chances. If we have to give a prediction, we’re going to say a draw, and not a particularly thrilling one at that.
