The head‑to‑head record at this stadium couldn't be more balanced, as it shows 2 draws and 1 win for each team in the last 4 head‑to‑heads. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, on 08‑03‑2025, for the Premier League, Brighton & Hove Albion won by (2‑1). João Pedro (90' ) and Jan Paul van Hecke (41' ) scored for Brighton and Raúl Jiménez (35' ) for Fulham. Fulham registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Brighton

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 8th position and got the promotion. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 32 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 19 conceded. They come to this match after a home win against VfL Wolfsburg by (2‑1). Brighton has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 18 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, but have been able to turn the score around in 3.

Brighton come into this match on the back of a 2-1 friendly win over Wolfsburg: the team's goals were scored by Maxim De Cuyper and Georginio Rutter. The locals will stick to their usual 4-3-3 tactical system, focusing on quick transitions and making the most of the depth of the wing-backs. Georginio Rutter, Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh are the most advanced trio and the main players responsible for creating imbalances up front. Carlos Baleba, Julio Enciso, Adam Webster and Solly March are all out injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Bart Verbruggen, Maxim De Cuyper, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk , Mats Wieffer, Yasin Ayari, Matt O'Riley, Carlos Baleba, Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Georginio Rutter.
Coach: R. De Zerbi.

Analysis Fulham

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 11th last season. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 24 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Al Ittihad by (4‑2). In the last 10 away matches Fulham has won 6 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Fulham come into this match on the back of a 1-0 friendly win over Frankfurt: Raúl Jiménez scored the team's only goal. The away side are likely to stick to their usual 4-3-3 tactical formation, opting for a more pacy and thoughtful style of play, with well-defined transitions. Alex Iwobi, Harry Wilson and Raúl Jiménez are expected to take centre stage, with the main players responsible for stirring up the attack. All the players are available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Bernd Leno, Calvin Bassey, Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Jorge Cuenca, Sander Berge, Josh King, Saša Lukić, Harry Wilson, Raúl Jiménez, Alex Iwobi.
Coach: M. Saraiva Da Silva.
