Brighton and Leeds United will battle for three points in a Premier League matchday 10 clash on Saturday. The game will be played at the Amex Stadium.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat they suffered away to Arsenal in the EFL Cup in midweek. Ethan Nwaneri broke the deadlock in the 57th minute while Bukayo Saka stepped off the bench to guarantee the Gunners’ progression.
The Sea Gulls will shift their focus to the league, where their last game saw their three-year winning streak at Old Trafford brought to an end in a 4-2 defeat to Manchester United.
Leeds United, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 2-1 home win over West Ham United. They were 2-0 up at the break thanks to goals from Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon. Mateus Fernandes stepped off the bench to score a late consolation goal for West Ham.
The win saw them climb to 15th spot in the standings, having garnered 11 points from nine games. Brighton are 13th with 12 points to their name.
Brighton vs Leeds United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

- Brighton’s last seven league games have seen both sides find the back of the net, with six games producing over 2.5 goals.

Brighton vs Leeds United Prediction
Brighton have not lost in six Premier League games against Leeds United, which is the most they have managed against a side in the league. Furthermore, they have kept a clean sheet in their last seven home head-to-head games (the longest run against an opponent in club history). However, this run could come to an end as Fabian Hurzeler’s side have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 Premier League games.
Leeds United returned to the top flight after two years away and boosted their chances of surviving the drop with their win last weekend. They have struggled to score in second halves, with just two of their nine league goals this term coming after the break.
We expect the hosts to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Leeds United
