As Brighton & Hove Albion prepare for another promotion push, some interesting fixtures lie ahead.
Things have gone about as well as could have been expected for Brighton & Hove Albion so far this season. Under Chris Hughton they are driving towards the top of the Championship table, and it seems as if their long wait for promotion to the Premier League could soon be coming to an end. Now, however, they are preparing for what is sure to be a fascinating run of games.
New Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce during the press conference
Aston Villa – Home
Villa are experiencing a hot run of form under new boss Steve Bruce, and given their firepower up front and general strength they look set to finally fulfill their potential. On the other hand, Brighton have been almost unstoppable over the last few weeks and you would expect them to edge out a victory in this one.
Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Aston Villa
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic
Fulham – Home
Fulham are one of the more unpredictable sides in this division, however form of any kind has never been an issue for the Seagulls. Given the confidence they have and their superiority throughout the pitch, this should be a relatively comfortable three points for Hughton’s side.
Prediction: Brighton 2-0 Fulham
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock
Cardiff City – Away
Under Neil Warnock things have been slowly improving for Cardiff City, but there is still a long way to go. Given that they are still knee deep in a relegation battle the pressure is very much on, but a hot home crowd will definitely help matters against Brighton. It will be close, but the visitors are likely to sneak another victory.
Prediction: Cardiff 1-2 Brighton
