I had a nightmare predicting Fulham final season as a result of they have been much less constant than ordinary at house, however picked up a couple of surprising factors away.
They’ve probably not added to their squad this summer season, however underneath Marco Silva they’re nonetheless an honest crew who play engaging soccer.
It’s Brighton I’m backing right here, although, even when I do marvel what impact Joao Pedro leaving may have on the Seagulls – who have been so thrilling in assault at instances final season.
The Seagulls have signed a younger Greek striker, Charalampos Kostoulas, who has a giant fame however he’s solely 18, so they are going to be counting on wily previous 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 speak about all facets of administration.
Hurzeler mentioned they’d turned down bids for Mitoma prior to now. We all know Brighton’s mannequin is to promote gamers, however Hurzeler clearly has received ambition himself – and whereas gamers like Mitoma are there, they’re going to be within the high half of the desk.
I used to be considering of being daring and beginning the season by backing them to get a giant 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
