Brighton vs Fulham Preview

Brighton enter the match as slight favorites at home, judging by their recent form and a strong opening day record under Fabian Hurzeler. The Seagulls narrowly missed European qualification last season and have been active in the transfer market. However, they face injury concerns with key players like Webster, March, and Enciso sidelined.

Fulham, managed by Marco Silva, have had a quieter transfer window, with no major signings beyond goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte. The Cottagers have struggled on the road against Brighton, losing their last encounter 2-1 in March, and will be without injured defender Robinson. However, their resilience in recent top-flight matches against Brighton could keep this game competitive.

Total Goals Over 2.5 @ -129 as per BetMGM

Given Brighton’s attacking potential and Fulham’s ability to contribute goals in past encounters, a match exceeding 2.5 goals seems likely, especially with both teams likely to push forward on the opening day.
