Simon Adingra, it's confirmed!

In great form since the start of the season, Simon Adingra is causing concern at promoted club Ipswich, who are preparing to face Brighton this Saturday in the Premier League. Thanks to a record statistic in the championship against the promoted team, the Ivorian striker has been much talked about since his return from selection with the Elephants of Côte d'Ivoire.

Brighton have had an impressive start to the Premier League season, going three games unbeaten. This impressive performance has cemented their position as one of the teams to watch this year. Under new manager Marcelino Hurzeler, the team has shown a solidity and cohesion that bodes well for the rest of the campaign. As Matchday 4 approaches, all eyes will be on Ivory Coast international Simon Adingra, who is tipped to be the main threat in the clash with Ipswich.

Marcelino Hurzeler (31) made history by becoming the youngest manager in the Premier League. Despite his young age, he shows great maturity and a clear vision for his team. During the recent international break, he took the time to reflect on the first few weeks of the season, focusing both on analysing the strengths and weaknesses of his team, and planning for the next phase of the season.

“For me, it was a time to reflect, to reanalyze the first weeks,” he said. “It is very important to reflect on what is going well so far and what we can improve.”. Hurzeler appears to have a methodical and considered approach to his management, which could explain Brighton's strong start to the season. With several crucial games ahead, particularly at home, Hurzeler wants his team to continue to build on their good momentum.

As Brighton prepare to take on Ipswich Town, a promoted side returning to the top flight after several years away, one name is constantly being discussed: Simon Adingra. The Ivory Coast international, who impressed again at the September training camp with the Elephants, has become a key figure in Brighton's attack. With sparkling form and remarkable performances so far this season, Adingra is considered one of the most dangerous players in his team, especially against newly promoted opponents.

Indeed, the statistics speak for themselves. Of Brighton's last eight Premier League goals against promoted sides, Simon Adingra has scored five, making up 71% of his Premier League goals (5/7). This impressive statistic shows how effective the Ivorian is against teams who have only just returned to the English top flight. Naturally, Ipswich Town, although in form, approach this match with some apprehension in the face of this formidable striker from West Africa.

Brighton and Ipswich Town are no strangers to the Premier League, although they haven't met for decades. Their last meeting in the top flight was in the 1980s. Between 1979 and 1983, the two teams met eight times in the Premier League. Ipswich came out on top with four wins, while Brighton won just two, the other two games ending in draws. Ipswich's last win over Brighton was a 2-0 victory, with goals from John Wark and Alan Brazil.

Since then, the two clubs have had different trajectories, but this encounter promises to stir up old memories. With Brighton's meteoric rise under Hurzeler and Ipswich's resurgence now back in the Premier League, this Saturday's clash promises to be an exciting one.

For Brighton, the challenge is clear: to continue their momentum and capitalise on their strong start to the season. Manager Hurzeler, who has made his mark in his first few months, will be looking to get the best out of his players. Simon Adingra, with his ability to be decisive against promoted teams, will undoubtedly be a key element in Brighton's strategy for this game.

On the Ipswich side, Kieran McKenna's team will try to contain Brighton's attacks while looking to exploit any gaps in the opposition's defence. With a solid defensive organisation, Ipswich could pose problems for the Seagulls, but they will have to remain vigilant against an in-form Simon Adingra.
