Brighton and Hove Albion are off to a great start in the Premier League and will go for a fourth win in five games on Tuesday against Fulham. Can Aleksandar Mitrovic & Co. end Brighton’s unbeaten run?
Mitrovic has bagged four goals in four games and bookmaker 10bet has the odds at 2.15 for him to net another one Tuesday night. Danny Welbeck is seen as the likeliest Brighton scorer with the odds at 2.90.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: August 29th, 8:00 A.M. (EST)
Mitrovic produced only three goals in total during his last Premier League campaign and he had plenty of doubters ahead of the season, even after his 43-goal year in the Championship, but the big Serbian got off to a superb start with a brace against Liverpool and he seems to be playing with very good confidence at the minute.
Mitrovic’s goals have helped Fulham make a solid start and the team looks much more competitive compared to the 2020-21 campaign when the Cottagers were able to get only five wins and 27 goals.
Brighton can make it very difficult for anyone in the league, but Marco Silva’s men play a proactive style of football and should feel like they have to take the three points on Tuesday.
The visitors lack a proven goalscorer, but they play like a proper unit and manager Graham Potter will be very proud of what he has seen in the first few games of the season. Brighton have been rock-solid at the back and they are actually now capitalizing on their chances, which has been a massive problem for the team under Potter.
German playmaker Pascal Gross has been the star man for Brighton so far. He started the season with a bang by bagging a brace to help Brighton to their first-ever win at Old Trafford and he’ll enter Tuesday’s action sitting on three goals and one assist. Adding to that, Gross leads the whole league in distance covered with 47.5 kilometers, so he’s been a real driving force for his team all over the pitch.
Can Gross lead his team to their first-ever Premier League win over Fulham? The two played out a pair of 0-0 draws the last time they were together in the top flight and Fulham recorded a win and a draw in the match-up in 2018-19. Brighton did, however, have a great record in this fixture before the teams linked up in the Premier League, even winning three straight trips to the Craven Cottage.
