What will decide it?
Home advantage first, then the goals picture and the factor with the most pull on this fixture.
Home edge
Edge: Fulham
Fulham are the better side and at home, which our model values at a little over a fifth of a goal. The two advantages stack.
Goal expectancy
Edge: Even
At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (50% for the over).
Quality gap
Edge: Fulham
Fulham rate clearly higher, and the draw is only 26%. If they score first, the game state favours them heavily.

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Fulham
Fulham are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball at Craven Cottage, but short of the creativity to dominate.
Away
Brighton & Hove Albion
Well organised and hard to play through, Brighton usually earn results on their trip to Craven Cottage by winning the midfield battle.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Fulham name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Brighton score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Fulham vs Brighton
Fulham take on Brighton & Hove Albion in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Fulham's way. The gap in expected goals (1.41 for Fulham, 1.27 for Brighton) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 40% for Fulham. Brighton's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
