Fulham vs Brighton Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.43 expected goals for Fulham and 2.78 for Brighton, a combined total of 4.20.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Brighton win, at 65.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.

It puts both teams scoring at 71% and over 2.5 goals at 79%.

A 66% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
