Brighton 11/10 Draw 27/10 Bournemouth 22/10

 

Brighton have recovered from a 7-0 hiding at Forest with back to back home wins over Chelsea, 2-1 in the cup and 3-0 in the league and on Saturday they thrashed Southampton 4-0 away from home. . They are now ninth in the standings but only 3 points behind their opponents here who are sixth.

 

Bournemouth went down 1-0 at home to ,Wolves on Saturday just a second defeat in the last 14 league games with the other coming at home to league leaders Liverpool. Their most recent road trip was also a South Coast derby at Southampton and they came away with a 3-1 win.

 

The Verdict

 

Brighton won the first meeting this season 2-1 and although Bournemouth have improved since then it seems the home side have got their form back and I'm with them to chalk up another 3 points.

Wolves 1.85/1 Draw 23/10 Fulham 1.45/1

 

Wolves put more daylight between themselves and the bottom 3 when they won 1-0 at Bournemouth at the weekend thanks to another goal from in form striker Cunha. They also won their most recent home game, 2-1 against Villa and in between they put in a really decent shoft and made Liverpool work hard for a 2-1 victory at Anfield. Wolves are now 5 points better off than thid bottom Leicester.

 

Fulham lost 2-0 at home to Palace at the weekend, the latest victims of a team who are particularly good away from home. They remain right in the middle of the table and they have won 3 of their last 4 road trips, the pick of which came at Newcastle (2-1).

 

The Verdict

 

Wolves were 4-1 winners when the teams met at Craven Cottage in November. That seemed like a strange result at the time but they have improved a lot and this is another opportunity to increase the points cushion they have over the bottom 3.

 

However I also have respect for Fulham who have a few old Wolves players in their ranks and a decent away record. I wouldn't be surprised to see this finish all square.
