Brighton, England – The Seagulls don ready to face Fulham for their first Premier League match of the 2025-26 season this Saturday, 16 August, 2025. After Brighton show skill last season by finishing eighth under the young coach Fabian Hürzeler, dem dey optimistic say this season go bring dem back to the European competition.
Last time these two teams meet, Brighton suffer small wahala as dem take 2-1 loss to Fulham in March, but before that, Brighton no lose for nine games against Fulham (D4 L5). If dem fit hold on to that vibe, we fit see dem begin the new campaign with sweet victory.
Brighton don dey flex dem muscles for the transfer market too. Since last season, dem don spend over £60 million on six fresh players, and the fans dey expect some faces wey go shine for the Amex Stadium. João Pedro and Pervis Estupiñán don waka come out, but Brighton don bring in some fresh talents wey dem hope say go light up the pitch.
On the field, Brighton dey plan to roll out their 4-2-3-1 formation, with expected players like Danny Welbeck, who scored ten goals last season. If him fit catch fire again, Fulham go really get wahala. But dem get one striker, Raúl Jiménez, wey don dey shine for summer too, as he win the Gold Cup with Mexico.
Fulham dey enter this match with small concern following quiet summer in the transfer market, as dem only sign back-up goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, while influential players like Willian don waka go. Marco Silva, the manager, don express concern about the club’s lack of ambition, but we go see how dem go cope against Brighton’s buzzing squad.
With Fulham winning only one of their last eight season-openers, dem need to turn things around if dem wan put pressure on Brighton. The last match at the Amex show say dia defense fit chop any attack dem throw at dem if dem play well.
This one go gather enough fans, as we dey expect a lot of goals, considering say over 2.5 goals don drop for their last three meetings. Brighton fans dey hope say di energy and excitement wey dey around their new signings go fire dem to a sweet opening victory.
At the end, predictions dey favor Brighton by 2-1 as dem commence their campaign with high hopes and confidence. Make we no forget say this na just the first game and gbolahan fit happen for any side.
