Brighton, just like Fulham, showed some great promise for Europe last season but missed out in the end. Reviving this ambition will be top of their agenda for the new campaign as they face off on the opening weekend of the 2025-26 Premier League season. In case you are looking to bet on this match, have a look at our preview and a prediction below.
Brighton will have regrets to bear from last season, but that should be the basis to want a stronger start this time around. They managed 61 points, just four short of European football. Fulham, on the other hand, finished 11 points off the European spots and will be looking to build on that.
Key to that target will be a winning start, which has not been their trait in recent years. Across their last eight league campaigns, Fulham won the season opener in only one. The visitors hold the recent head-to-head advantage but struggled towards the end of last season.

Brighton - Fulham: Form Analysis
Brighton’s tally of 61 points in 2024/25 was the second highest in their Premier League history. They couldn’t, however, guarantee European football this season. That was just one of the Seagulls’ positives.
The other is that they managed to put a stop to Fulham’s dominance in this fixture. They won 2-1 in their latest meeting, having failed to win in the previous nine matchups. In fact, that was Brighton’s first win against Fulham in the Premier League.
Fabian Hürzeler’s men won 16 of their 38 league matches last season with half of the wins coming at home.
Fulham lost once in their last 10 matches against Brighton in the Premier League.
Visitors Fulham will go into this game with the 'underdog’ label. Apart from their poor finish last season, the London side has had a quiet summer as far as transfers are concerned.
Seven losses in their closing 11 matches in the league led to an 11th-place finish, but they are coming off three straight wins in preseason friendlies. They will hope to carry that momentum into the competitive season, especially with their poor away form in the league.
Heading into this game, Fulham suffered four defeats in six away league matches. Last season, though, they won more matches away (8) than at home (7).

Brighton & Fulham Squad Analysis
Brighton by now are well accustomed to losing top players to the big boys. This time they are dealing with the departure of Joao Pedro, who has settled well and fast at Chelsea.
The Brazilian spent two seasons at Brighton, scored 30 goals, and had 10 assists in all competitions. It was his winning goal last season that ended Fulham’s dominance in this fixture.
Brighton could also lose Carlos Baleba, currently linked with Manchester United. He’s questionable for this match anyway, with a knee injury.
Alex Iwobi likes matches against Brighton, as he has six goal contributions in the fixture.
Fulham may not have new faces to brandish in this match, but in Alex Iwobi, they have a specialist against Brighton. The Nigerian has had six goal contributions against Brighton previously, scoring three and assisting as many. His latest assist came last season when he provided for Raul Jimenez’s opener away to Brighton.
Meanwhile, Fulham have already rejected a transfer request from Atalanta for Rodrigo Muniz, but it seems likely he might leave.
On the same front, Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson has since reunited with his parent club.

Our Brighton vs Fulham Prediction
Fulham have had a poor record in season-opening matches in recent campaigns. In the last eight seasons, they lost four times, drew three, and managed just one win in such matches. Here, they will be facing a side on four straight wins in their opening matches.
That’s not all that favors Brighton; they ended Fulham’s domination in this fixture last season. The hosts also come here undefeated in five league matches, while Fulham won just four of their last 11. Our prediction for Brighton v Fulham is that Brighton wins the match.
Brighton vs Fulham - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
While Brighton come here as the favorite, they have just one clean sheet in 12 league games, which doesn’t place them well. This is made worse by the fact that Fulham have a player who has been a thorn in the Seagulls’ flesh lately in the form of Alex Iwobi.
The Fulham forward has three goals and as many assists in this fixture. With that in mind, our second prediction for this match will be for both teams to score.
