Brighton are set to face off against Luton Town in their first Premier League clash of the 2023/24 season on 12 August 2023.
The Seagulls made a historic move in the league by finishing 6th and securing a European spot for the first time in the club's history last term.
The club will be looking to reach higher results under the boss Roberto de Zerbi, and the meeting against Luton Town would be important in terms of starting the season on a good note.
The opponents, meanwhile, will be determined to show their best after being promoted to the highest division in England.
Just ahead of their first fixture, Brighton are expected to confirm the departure of club star Moises Caicedo to Liverpool for £110m. While the details of the contract between Caicedo and Liverpool are still pending, they are anticipated to be a straightforward matter to resolve. A medical examination for the player is scheduled for Friday.

Brighton vs Luton Town Prediction - 12/08/2023 - Premier League
At the beginning of the 2022/23 season, Brighton faced the challenge of adjusting to a new manager, Roberto de Zerbi, after Graham Potter's departure. Despite the initial uncertainties, de Zerbi's leadership brought success to the team, and Brighton had a promising season, finishing in 6th place and securing a spot in European competition.
On the other hand, Luton Town's promotion to the Premier League presents them with a fresh opportunity, but it may take some time for them to acclimate to the higher level of competition. As a result, it is expected that Brighton, with their experience in the Premier League and a stronger squad, will have the advantage in their first match of the season against the newly-promoted Luton Town.
Prediction: 2 - 1
