Brighton receives Fulham on Wednesday on the 20th day of the Premier League. Both teams are fighting for maintenance.
Brighton is struggling to stay alive this season and now ranks 17th in the Premier League with 5 units ahead of the relegation zone and its opponent of the day. On the last day, the Seagulls performed very well by winning in Leeds (0-1). This success put an end to a bad streak of 9 games without a win (5 draws and 4 losses). Last weekend, Brighton took the measure, at home, of Blackpool in the 16th round of the FA Cup (2-1).
With 12 points taken in 18 games, Fulham is currently 18th in the Premier League and therefore 5 points behind Brighton. Back in the top flight this year, the Cottagers are struggling to level up and they have not won any of their last 8 league games (5 draws and 3 losses). The London formation remains on 2 conceded losses, at home, against Chelsea (0-1) and Manchester United (1-2). Last weekend, Fulham was heavily beaten at home by Burnley in the FA Cup (0-3).
Brighton’s squad are still greatly reduced by the injuries of substitute strikers Andone and Izquierdo, promising full-back Lamptey, former Gunner Welbeck, and substitutes Steele and Jahanbakhsh. Return on the other hand of executives Lallana and Connolly. Spared in the FA Cup last weekend (came into play in the 60th), the Frenchman Neal Maupay is the club’s top scorer in the league with 7 goals.
On the side of Fulham, the middle manager Cairney is still blocked in the infirmary as the long-term absentee Kongolo (ex-Monaco). In addition, titular defenseman Robinson must continue to serve his suspension. In the hard offensively, the Cottagers have the 18th attack in the Premier League (15 goals scored in 18 games).
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
During the first leg, the two teams neutralized each other on the lawn of Fulham (0-0).
Seeming very close to each other and struggling to win this season, the two teams could neutralize each other on Wednesday. Draw!
