Brighton & Hove Albion vs Luton Town Prediction: The newcomer will have a chance to make his mark

Newcomer of the English Premier League Luton Town will face Brighton. This meeting will start on August 12. Luton is the underdog of the upcoming game, but the club will have chances to distinguish themselves based on the unsuccessful statistics of the hosts in defense.

In the pre-season, the team met with three representatives of the English Premier League. In a productive duel, the Seagulls lost to Chelsea with a score of 3:4. Next, Brighton sent two unanswered goals to the Brentford gate. In the third game, the club lost to Newcastle United (1:2), and last week exchanged results with Rayo Vallecano (1:1). Recall that Brighton had a great season in 2022-23, finished in sixth place in the Premier League table and qualified for the group stage of the Europa League.

The pre-season of Luton Town was more intense - six control meetings, in which the team had two wins, three draws, and one defeat. We emphasize that the equal-level opponent was only Wolverhampton; in this duel, collectives did not please with productive actions. In the last campaign of the Championship, Luton perfectly held the second round and made it to the playoffs. In the decisive game at Wembley, the team was stronger than Coventry City in a penalty shootout.

Luton Town made a sensation, entering the elite of English football. Each round of the Premier League will be a holiday for fans of a modest club; each meeting is a chance for Luton players to show themselves in action and surprise their distinguished opponents. Brighton, of course, will be considered the favorite for most home matches, especially on the back of excellent performances in the previous campaign. This summer, however, the club lost one of the midfield leaders - McAllister went to Liverpool. This will affect the level of the club in midfield, but De Dzerby is a versatile specialist and will try to find a great solution quickly. In the upcoming game, we suggest considering a quick goal and productive actions of both teams; Luton will be able to hit the gates of Brighton.
