I had a nightmare predicting Fulham final season as a result of they have been much less constant than typical at house, however picked up just a few sudden factors away.
They’ve probably not added to their squad this summer time, however below Marco Silva they’re nonetheless a good staff who play enticing soccer.
It’s Brighton I’m backing right here, although, even when I do surprise what impact Joao Pedro leaving can have on the Seagulls – who have been so thrilling in assault at occasions final season.
The Seagulls have signed a younger Greek striker, Charalampos Kostoulas, who has an enormous fame however he’s solely 18, so they are going to be counting on wily outdated Danny Welbeck – in addition to Kaoru Mitoma – whereas Kostoulas adapts.
We had Brighton supervisor Fabian Hurzeler on this week’s Monday Evening Membership and it was actually attention-grabbing to hearken to him discuss all elements of administration.
Hurzeler mentioned they’d turned down bids for Mitoma previously. We all know Brighton’s mannequin is to promote gamers, however Hurzeler clearly has bought ambition himself – and whereas gamers like Mitoma are there, they’ll be within the prime half of the desk.
I used to be pondering of being daring and beginning the season by backing them to get an enormous win, however I’m going to be smart – for as soon as.
Sutton’s prediction: 1-0
Tom’s prediction: Brighton to edge this. 1-0
AI’s prediction: 2-1
