Overview
- Kickoff is 10 a.m. ET at Craven Cottage with Fulham 11th on 31 points and Brighton 12th on 30 after contrasting late-game results last week.
- Fulham are boosted by the returns of Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey from the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Fulham’s off-ball metrics lag this season, including a league-low 91 high turnovers and the fewest pressed sequences, per BBC-cited data.
- Brighton have leaned on substitutes, who have nine goals and 14 goal involvements, and both clubs are joint-most for substitutions with 104 in 22 league matches.
- Betting previews via OddsWire and USA TODAY tilt toward a home win with a 2-1 prediction, and Brighton’s recent London trips have produced two wins in 18.
