Current streaks

Recent form

Fulham

Fulham's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the Cottagers currently sitting 10th in the Premier League table. Over their last six matches, they have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, showcasing a mixed bag of results. Notably, Fulham have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their recent 4-1 home defeat to Wolves, which stands out as their heaviest loss in this period. Despite conceding 10 goals in their last six games, Fulham have managed to find the back of the net in five out of six matches, with both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures. Their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, keeping only one clean sheet in this run, whilst their goal difference of -2 reflects their struggles to outscore opponents consistently. The even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals suggests that Fulham's games have been relatively unpredictable in terms of scoring patterns.

Brighton

Brighton's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Seagulls showing resilience and attacking prowess despite inconsistent results. They have managed to secure 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 matches, maintaining a respectable 4th position in the Premier League with 23 points from 13 games. Notably, Brighton have been involved in a series of high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all 6 games. Their attacking output has been impressive, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but they've struggled defensively, conceding at the same rate. A particular concern is their 6-game run without a clean sheet. Despite this, Brighton have shown they can compete with top sides, evidenced by their 2-1 victory over Manchester City. The team's ability to consistently find the net, coupled with their vulnerability at the back, has contributed to their matches being exciting affairs for neutrals, with a total goals average of 3.33 per game.
