Brighton vs Vallecano Lineups and Last Match
Brighton
Brighton had a quiet summer. So far, the only big name to leave the club is playmaker MacAllister. Caicedo remains put for now and he's been used often in recent friendlies.
The Seagulls added depth to their ranks with 6 new signings already made. Experienced Igor is the latest of those and he will be available for his debut only 2 days after joining.
Coach De Zebri likes the pace of Welbeck up front and the veteran forward could lead the line from the off again. It seems 3 potential starters won't be available though. All of Dunk, March and Millner nurse injuries and are not expected to be risked.
Predicted Lineup – Steele (GK), Gross, Veltman, Van Hecke, Estupinan, Caicedo, Dahoud, Buonanotte, Pedro, Mitoma & Welbeck
Vallecano
Vallecano won only 1 of their 4 friendlies so far (D2 L1). This is hardly surprising considering the many changes that took place over recent weeks. At the start of the summer coach Iraola left to take charge of Bournemouth. Francisco is now in charge. Also, 4 of the regulars from last season are no longer in the squad so the team had to be rebuilt.
Vallecano seems set to give debuts on Sunday to all of their 3 most recent signings – Lejeune, Espino and Hernandez. Also, veteran striker Falcao is a player who needs watching out for impact off the bench.
Predicted Lineup – Dimitrievski (GK), Balliu, Lejeune, Aridane, Espino, Valentin, Ciss, U Lopez, Salvi, De Tomas & Nteka
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Pascal Gross
The German Pascal Gross has been Brighton's most creative player for 3 consecutive years now. He is very good at providing assists for teammates but also at scoring goals from direct free-kicks and after making smart runs in pockets of space.
Gross is known for his good form in the early months of every season. Over the last 3 years combined he has scored 40% of his Brighton goals in the months of August to October. It seems the German knows how to be in top shape exactly at this time of the year.
