TEAMS PREVIEW

Leeds United Preview

Leeds continued their impressive run in the league with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Tottenham in midweek. Trailing for much of the game, the Whites rescued a point through Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s penalty, though they came close to snatching all three when Sean Longstaff was denied a dramatic late winner by Spurs’ goalkeeper. 

The result extended Leeds’ unbeaten streak to seven matches, during which they have taken points off top-10 sides like Manchester United, Brentford and Bournemouth. On Sunday, they face yet another stern test against Brighton.

Stats that matter 

1. Leeds have only lost their last home league game twice in their last 20 seasons in a top-flight competition.
2. The Lilly Whites have scored three or more goals in eight different League matches this season, the most by a newly promoted team since the 2020-21 season.
3. The Whites are on a two match winning streak at home. 

Team News 

For the upcoming fixture, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Noah Okafor  are ruled out, while Pascal Strujik's availability is doubtful as the player was subbed off with an injury during the Tottenham game. 

Leeds United Probable XI - Darlow (GK); Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Justin, Aaronson, Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin

Brighton & Hove Albion Preview

Brighton reignited their European push with a commanding 3-0 win over Wolves, producing one of their most dominant home displays of the season. Jack Hinshelwood set the tone by scoring inside 35 seconds — the fastest Premier League goal for the club — before captain Lewis Dunk marked his return with another goal just four minutes later. 

Yankuba Minteh then capped off the performance after making amends for a big miss in the previous game.

The victory extended Brighton’s home winning streak to three matches, but their away form remains a concern, with no wins in their last two on the road, including a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle. 

Sitting four points off a potential Champions League spot, the Seagulls know only a win will keep their hopes alive.

Stats that matter 

1. Since March, no side has won more Premier League matches than Brighton (6, level with Arsenal).
2. Jack Hinshelwood has scored in each of his last three league games — no Brighton player has scored four in row.
3. Brighton won their final away league game last season, and if they are to win against Leeds  it will be the first time since the 2013 season. 

Team News 

Kaoru Mitoma has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after picking up an injury against Wolves. On a positive note for Brighton, Diego Gomez and Mats Wieffer are both expected to be available for the weekend fixture.

Brighton Probable XI - Verbruggen (GK); Veltman , Van Hecke, Boscagli, Kadioglu, Baleba, GrossMinteh, Hinshelwood, Rutter, Welbeck.  

LEEDS UNITED vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION
Winning Prediction

Sunday’s clash presents Leeds with the perfect chance to avenge their 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture, and based on current form, the hosts will fancy their chances of taking something from the game. 

However, Brighton have generally travelled well this season, but their recent away form has dipped, with the Seagulls dropping points in both of their last two road matches against lower-half opposition. Still, the overall head-to-head record leans in Brighton’s favour.

The bookmakers also slightly favour the visitors, pricing Brighton at 2.1 for the win, while Leeds stand at 3.1 and a draw is valued at 3.6.
