Brighton vs. Roma: A Tougher Test for the Giallorossi

August 8, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Following friendly matches against Cardiff and Newport, the bar is raised for Gasperini's Roma. Today, at the Amex Stadium, the Giallorossi will face Premier League side Brighton in a friendly. Kick-off is at 4:00 PM, and here's our prediction for the match.

Brighton vs. Roma Prediction: X2 + Goal

Brighton, nicknamed the "Seagulls," are coming off a 4-3 victory against Strasbourg, indicating an Over 3.5 outcome, a trend also seen in Roma's three summer exhibition games. In their latest match, a 4-1 win against Newport (a 4th division English team), new signings Castro and Koulierakis also found the back of the net. This is good news for Gasperini, who is still awaiting reinforcements in the attacking wings from the transfer market. Brighton had previously beaten Roma 1-0 in the Europa League Round of 16 in 2024, although they had suffered a 4-0 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico. Given the context, after two consecutive "No Goal" scenarios, we can expect at least one goal from each side. An interesting combination bet is "X2 + Goal," which links a double chance of a Roma win or draw with both teams scoring, available at odds of 2.05.
