Brighton vs Stoke City

Brighton host Stoke City in a midweek friendly as both sides continue their preparations for the upcoming season. The Seagulls enter as strong favorites with average moneyline odds of 1.48, reflecting their Premier League pedigree against Championship opposition. Stoke, priced at 5.19, face an uphill battle but will aim to test their higher-tier opponents in what should be a useful workout for both teams.

The draw sits at 4.34, suggesting bookmakers expect Brighton to control proceedings, though friendlies often see experimental lineups and unpredictable outcomes. With no competitive stakes, the focus will likely be on fitness and tactical adjustments rather than the final score. Fans can expect a competitive but low-intensity encounter as both managers assess their squads ahead of the new campaign.
