Brightonvs.Fulham

Both teams secured their places in the FA Cup quarter-finals last weekend, with Brighton beating Newcastle United 2-1 after extra time and Fulham winning 4-3 on penalties away against Manchester United.

Fabian Hurzeler and Marco Silva will now shift their focus back to the Premier League, with Brighton currently sitting eighth in the table and just one point above Fulham in ninth.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 57

Brighton wins: 22

Draws: 8

Fulham wins: 27

Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham have faced each other a total of 57 times across all competitions and it is the Cottagers who marginally lead the overall head-to-head record, as they have won 27 games compared to the Seagulls' 22, while eight draws have been played out between the two clubs.

The first eight meetings between these two sides took place in Division Three (South) between November 1928 and March 1932, with Fulham winning four, drawing one and losing three of those against Brighton, including a 5-1 home win in April 1930 - their joint-biggest victory over the Seagulls to date.

Brighton and Fulham regularly butted heads in the second and third tiers between 1969 and 1988, and there was little to separate them as the Seagulls celebrated nine victories to the Cottagers' eight across 18 league encounters.

In October 1987, Brighton secured their biggest victory over Fulham in the Sherpa Vans Trophy, winning 6-1 at Craven Cottage in between 2-0 and 2-1 successes in Division Three of the same season.

However, Fulham enjoyed facing Brighton in the 1990s when they won seven and drew two of their 12 meetings across all competitions, including a 5-0 aggregate win in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Brighton got their revenge in the Championship, as they won five consecutive games against Fulham by an aggregate score of 13-3 between December 2014 and January 2017, but the tables have since turned in Fulham's favour once again.

Indeed, Fulham are yet to lose in nine Premier League meetings with Brighton, winning five and drawing four. The most recent encounter between these two clubs was in December 2024 when the Cottagers celebrated a 3-1 home victory.
