Brighton and Hove Albion finished 8th in the Premier League last season, but missing out on Europe created disappointment. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler, ranked highly among world managers, has a youthful squad with potential. The team experienced difficulty against bottom-half opponents, failing to secure victories at home against relegated teams. Hurzeler's inexperience highlighted certain tactical oversights, particularly in a severe defeat. The coaching staff aims to address long-standing defensive issues and improve overall consistency in performances as they look towards the upcoming season.
Brighton secured their second-best top-flight finish last season (8th), but missing out on Europe was still a disappointment. Long-standing issues need attention.
The Seagulls struggle against bottom-half sides: they didn't beat any relegated outfit at home in 2024-25. Avoiding such situations in the first place would be preferable.
