In the Premier League season opener, it will be Brighton who walks away with all three points. They are coming in as slight road underdogs, but their superior quality will be enough to get a positive result.
Traditionally, home field advantage is diminished in season openers, which implies we are getting a great price with the Seagulls on Saturday. Moreover, the addition of Mats Wieffer will solidify their midfield, and a lackluster Everton attack will struggle to break them down through the middle.
Meanwhile, Brighton have won their opening match in three straight Premier League seasons and will grind out a victory to make it four straight this year too. My pick is Brighton to get the win.
Chide!
