Brighton vs Fulham Premier League Prediction (16.08.2025)

On August 16, 2025, at 21:00 WIB, at the Amex Stadium, local side Brighton will host Fulham in the first round of the English Premier League. Bookmakers regard the home team as the favorites. Let’s review both teams’ current form and share our prediction for the match.

Brighton

The Seagulls remain one of the most exciting and attacking teams in the Premier League. Last season, Brighton ranked in the top five for scoring, despite finishing only eighth. They fought for a European spot until the very end, and had Manchester City won the FA Cup final, Brighton would have qualified for the Europa Conference League. Instead, that spot went to Crystal Palace.

The offseason was positive, with Fabian Hürzeler’s men drawing with Southampton, beating Stoke City, Las Palmas, and defeating Wolfsburg twice. The summer saw notable squad changes: João Pedro, Pervis Estupiñán, and Simon Adingra departed, while new signings included Maxime De Keype, Olivier Boscagli, Charalampos Kostoulas, Tom Watson, and Diego Coppola.

Fulham

The Cottagers were inconsistent last season, finishing 11th in the league and reaching the FA Cup quarterfinals. They were solid in attack but defensive issues hurt their campaign, scoring 54 goals but conceding the same number.

In preseason, Fulham won all three matches, beating Nottingham Forest, Al-Ittihad, and Eintracht Frankfurt. There were no major changes to the squad, so Marco Silva’s men may benefit from their cohesion and on-field understanding.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The last five meetings favor Fulham, with three wins to one and one draw. However, in their most recent meeting in March this year, the Seagulls came out on top.

Prediction

For Brighton vs Fulham, the prediction favors the hosts. Home support, an active preseason, and transfer reinforcements could prove decisive in this matchup. Suggested bet: Brighton to win at odds of 1.92.
