Brighton will kick off their 2024-25 season with a match against Everton on Saturday, 17 August. In the past, the Seagulls have lost their first match in three out of their first four Premier League seasons. However, they have recently been starting their seasons with victories and will aim to continue that trend.
Brighton has never won their opening league match for four consecutive seasons. If they manage to secure a win in their first game against Everton, it will be a historic moment for the team. To achieve this, Fabian Hurzeler’s side will need to score first, as the team that has scored first in previous Premier League meetings between Everton and Brighton has never lost (W10 D3).
The matchup against Everton will be crucial for Brighton to set the tone for the rest of their season. Last season, Everton took the lead in both games against Brighton, but they both ended in 1-1 draws. This statistic highlights the importance of scoring first for Brighton if they want to start their season on a winning note.
If Brighton manages to secure a win in their first game, it will be the first time in their history that they have won their opening league match for four consecutive seasons. This is an ambitious goal, but one that Fabian Hurzeler and his team are determined to achieve. With Everton being a tough opponent, it will not be an easy task for Brighton to come out on top. However, if they can score first and keep up with the pressure, they may just make history this season.
