Brighton Ends Nine-Game Winless Run Against Fulham in Premier League Clash

According to the news article, in a Premier League match last March, Brighton beat Fulham 2-1, ending a nine-game winless run against the Cottagers. This was a significant result for Brighton, who had struggled against Fulham in recent years, managing just four draws and five losses in their previous nine meetings.

Fulham's away form against Brighton has also been poor, with the team winning just one of their last seven league games at the Amex Stadium. However, Fulham have had a decent overall record against Brighton, winning 50% of their 10 Premier League encounters, a higher win rate than against most other teams they've faced 10 or more times.

The article also highlights Brighton's impressive start to recent Premier League seasons, having won their opening league match in each of the last four campaigns. This is the Seagulls' longest such run in their league history and the longest current streak of any Premier League side.

In contrast, Fulham have struggled to pick up points in their opening matches, winning just one of their last eight league openers. Their sole victory came in a 1-0 win at Everton in the 2023-24 season.

Since their heavy 7-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in February, Brighton have been the Premier League's most prolific scorers, netting 31 goals. Only Manchester City and Aston Villa have picked up more points than the Seagulls during this period.
