Brighton and Hove Albion welcome Fulham to the Amex Stadium, as the opening gameweek of the 2025/26 English Premier League gets underway.
Despite ending last season with three successive victories, manager Fabian Hürzeler’s side were unable to qualify for the UEFA Conference League – missing out by four points.
That represented their second-highest English Premier League points tally and they will hope to resume a run of four successive opening day victories when they take on Fulham.
The hosts are also unbeaten in five pre-season matches and haven’t lost a home match since April, 2, but will be without star-forward Joao Pedro after he moved on to Chelsea.
Fulham are also unbeaten in pre-season, winning all three matches, but ‘The Cottagers’ have endured a very quiet summer transfer window.
Despite Brazilian attackers Willian and Carlos Vinícius leaving on free transfers, manager Marco Silva has seen only veteran goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte arrive in West London.
EPL Bets writer Callum Close has highlighted a nicely-priced treble that may land a decent profit.
What are the best bets for Brighton v Fulham?
