Analyst’s Pick

Brighton & Hove to win

All the side value from AccuScore sims is on Brighton on this match. Whereas offshore picks give them a 29.7 percent chance to win, AccuScore sims have them winning 35 percent of games. Fulham, on the other hand, win 35 percent of AccuScore sims, with picks initially giving them a 40+ percent chance.
