Our AI Predictions for the Match Between Fulham and Brighton
To provide you with the most reliable betting insights, we have collated match predictions from three of the leading AI models: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Each model offers a distinct prediction on the outcome, displayed as a simple bullet point. You will also see their official logos, making it clear which AI made each call. For those who wish to delve deeper, you can click on each prediction to expand and reveal the reasoning behind it, showing how the AI reached its conclusion based on data, form, and key match statistics.
BTTS offers solid value here given both sides’ attacking depth and the likelihood of defensive vulnerabilities due to injuries and suspensions. Fulham’s potent home attack paired with Brighton’s revamped frontline increases the probability of goals at both ends, supporting the BTTS proposition.
Claude prioritises markets that favour a home win backed by Fulham’s superior home form and Brighton’s defensive injuries. The Cottagers’ attacking strength against a depleted Brighton backline makes the home victory the standout selection. Both teams’ prolific scoring records support the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score predictions as complementary angles.
Gemini prioritises the Over/Under market, finding strong value in a high-scoring affair. Both Fulham and Brighton are known for their attacking intent, and with significant defensive injuries and suspensions on both sides, an open match with plenty of goals is expected.
Why we chose the prediction we did from the options that were available to us?
I’m picking Fulham to win as my top tip based on their strong home form and Brighton’s inconsistencies on the road. Fulham have been unbeaten in their last 4 home games and have scored in 91% of their home matches this season. They’ve also shown the ability to beat mid-table rivals, as seen in recent wins against Leeds and Burnley. Brighton, on the other hand, have struggled away, winning only 2 of their last 10 away games. With Fulham’s ability to create chances at home and Brighton’s vulnerability on the road, this looks like a good spot for Fulham to secure a much-needed win.
Value Bets from Our Algorithm
Our value bets are generated by combining insights from advanced research models with key football data points. The algorithm looks beyond simple win–draw–lose outcomes and weighs factors such as recent form, head-to-head records, expected goals (xG), injury news, home and away performance trends, and market odds movement. This meticulous process helps to pinpoint bets that offer genuine value based on statistical probability.
Fulham’s strong form at Craven Cottage, coupled with Brighton’s extensive list of defensive injuries and suspensions, makes them clear favourites to win.
Bet 2
Both Teams to Score — Our model leans towards Yes.
Given Brighton’s significant personnel issues, Fulham are strongly fancied to avoid defeat on their home turf.
Player Focus Bets
Based on recent form and historical data, our top picks for the Anytime Goalscorer market in this match between Fulham and Brighton:
Harry Wilson is an excellent candidate for the anytime goalscorer market due to his consistent attacking contributions for Fulham. With 7 goals and 4 assists in the Premier League this season, Wilson is involved in the majority of Fulham’s attacking play, averaging 2.2 shots per game. He also plays a crucial role in set-piece situations, increasing his chances of scoring. As one of Fulham’s most creative players, Wilson is often in the right place at the right time, making him a reliable option to find the back of the net in this fixture. (Fulham)
Georginio Rutter is a good option for the anytime goalscorer market, especially given his recent form and key role in Brighton’s attack. He has scored 2 goals in 16 Premier League starts this season, and his recent opening goal in the 2-0 win against Burnley shows he can deliver in crucial moments. Although his shot volume is not high, he has shown efficiency with 1 shot on target per game, and his ability to create chances as well makes him a reliable outlet when Brighton press for goals. If he starts, Rutter is likely to be involved in the scoring again, given Brighton’s attacking setup and his ability to convert in tight matches. (Brighton)

Quick Betting Angles
These Quick Betting Angles cut through the noise and turn stats into actionable insights for Fulham vs Brighton on 24 January 2026 at 3:00 PM.
Betting Angle (Both Teams to Score): Both Teams to Score is a strong angle given Fulham’s attacking form at home and Brighton’s ability to find the net in most games. Fulham have scored in 91% of their home matches, while Brighton have found the net in 80% of their away games, suggesting both teams are likely to score in what could be an open, end-to-end affair.
Betting Angle (Total Goals): Total Goals looks to be leaning towards Over 2.5, with both teams involved in high-scoring matches. Fulham’s home games average 2.91 goals per match, while Brighton’s away games average 2.73 goals. Given their attacking setups and defensive vulnerabilities, it’s likely we’ll see more than 2.5 goals in this encounter.
Betting Angle (Home Advantage): Home Advantage is a key factor in this match for Fulham, as they have been strong at Craven Cottage this season. Fulham have won 6 of their last 10 home matches, scoring in each of them and averaging 2.5 goals per home game. They’ve also been tough to break down at home, holding Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United to draws or narrow victories. With Brighton’s away form being less consistent, particularly with defensive lapses, Fulham’s home edge gives them a significant advantage in this matchup.
