Brighton vs Fulham Predictions

• Brighton and Fulham were joint top for both teams to score last season.
• Seven goals were scored in the two meetings between these sides last term.

Goals to flow at the Amex Stadium

Brighton and Fulham were joint-top of the both teams to score charts in the Premier League last season, and little is expected to change when they open the new campaign at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Both teams found the net in 27 of these sides’ 38 top-flight games last season, including in both meetings between the pair, where Brighton scored three and Fulham netted four times.

The Seagulls, who lost Joao Pedro to Chelsea in the summer, have a wealth of attacking talent to choose from, and they have been on form in pre-season, with Fabian Hurzeler’s side scoring at least twice in all five summer friendlies.

The Cottagers have scored eight times in their three pre-season outings, too, and both teams will be keen to open the new campaign with a positive result, making both teams to score an appealing option at the Amex.

Rutter can help Seagulls to victory

One of Brighton’s eight home wins last season came in their 2-1 triumph over Fulham, and a similar outcome could begin the 2025/26 instalment.

The Seagulls took seven points from Liverpool, Newcastle, and West Ham to end their home season last year, and Fulham lost four of their final six away games, two of which were 2-1 defeats.

With the depth in Hurzeler’s squad, picking a Brighton attacker to stand out is a tough ask, but this could be the season that Georginio Rutter comes into his own.

Rutter scored five and assisted two goals in his final 13 competitive appearances last season, averaging a goal contribution every 123 minutes. He has scored twice in pre-season and could hit the ground running.
