Brighton and Hove Albion vs Fulham: betting odds 8 Mar 2025
Betting tips 8 Mar 2025
A clash between two mid-table sides still harbouring hopes of securing European football next season. Brighton and Fulham are level in the standings, sitting eighth and ninth respectively, meaning any result other than a defeat will allow Brighton to maintain their edge in the race.
Injury concerns continue to trouble Brighton, with nine players unavailable, though most have been sidelined for some time. The biggest recent setback is Kaoru Mitoma, who picked up a knee injury in the dying moments of Brighton’s FA Cup clash with Newcastle United. The Japanese winger has been a pivotal attacking threat and has played more matches (31) than any other player in the squad this season. The coaching staff remain hopeful that his knee issue is not too serious and that he may recover in time for Saturday’s fixture.
Fulham have five unavailable players for this fixture, though one is due to suspension. Sasa Lukic picked up his 10th yellow card of the campaign against Wolverhampton, ruling him out of the trip to Brighton. His absence could be felt in midfield, especially given his influential role in Fulham’s FA Cup battle with Manchester United, where he played a key part in taking the match to penalties before Manchester United prevailed. Another concern is Adama Traoré, who twisted his ankle in that same cup tie. While he has not been ruled out entirely, his chances of featuring remain slim.
Fulham’s absentees seem more significant, while Brighton have adapted well despite missing several key players. With home advantage and a stronger available squad, Brighton should edge this contest.
