Key Factors
AFCON Reinforcements: Fulham receives a massive boost with the return of Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Samuel Chukwueze, restoring the spine and creative depth missing in their recent loss to Leeds.
Brighton's London Struggles: The Seagulls have a statistically significant psychological barrier in the capital, winning only 2 of their last 18 matches played in London.
Efficiency vs. Volume: While Brighton dominates shot volume and xG (underperforming 36.01 season xG), Fulham’s home clinical nature (1.73 goals per game at the Cottage) matches up perfectly against Brighton's tendency to concede on the road.
Injuries & Absentees
Fulham is missing Rodrigo Muniz (thigh) and Sasa Lukic (muscle), but the return of Bassey and Iwobi from international duty effectively replaces that lost output. Brighton is more severely hampered in the defensive transition phase, missing midfield anchor Mats Wieffer and center-back Adam Webster, which leaves them vulnerable to Fulham’s pacy wide players like Harry Wilson and Chukwueze.
