Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham prediction 16.08.2025 | Premier League

Brighton were very unlucky to finish outside the top seven in the 2024/25 Premier League season, missing out on European football by just four points. They performed reasonably well at home last season, winning 8 of their 19 matches — the eighth-best home record in the league. Brighton were particularly strong in the final few months of the campaign, going unbeaten at the American Express Stadium in their last six matches.

The Seagulls bid farewell to the likes of Estupiñán, Adingra, João Pedro, and Evan Ferguson during the summer transfer window, while Maxim De Cuyper and Olivier Boscagli were among the arrivals brought in to help offset those departures.

After narrowly missing out on a top-ten finish in the 2024/25 Premier League season, Fulham will be looking to take a step further this year. They were a fairly balanced side in terms of home and away performances and even fared slightly better on the road, collecting 28 points from 19 games. However, their final few months away from home were less impressive, as Fulham lost four of their last six league matches on the road.

Fulham have also suffered some major losses in terms of player departures this summer. They have lost Willian and Carlos Vinícius, while Tom Cairney and Reiss Nelson have also left — departures that are expected to impact their midfield and attacking options.
