- Brighton have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions, including their last 2 (W2). Leeds have won 4 of their last 5 in all competitions. Leeds won the last Premier League 2025/2026 H2H clash 1-0 (H) three months ago, while the 2 sides have won 1 each across their 2 most recent meetings in all current competitions.
A cagey affair at The Amex
4th-placed Brighton & Hove Albion, with 3 points from a possible 3, will welcome 9th placed Leeds United, who also have 3 points from a potential 3, to The American Express Community Stadium on Saturday in a fixture where the early bragging rights will be at stake.
Fabian Hurzeler has Brighton playing a high-intensity, possession-based game with plenty of width and a proactive press, while Daniel Farke has Leeds set up in a more pragmatic 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 shape. The Whites use their wing-backs as an additional line of defence, keep things compact and play fast on the break.
That should make for an interesting encounter, with Brighton trying to pin Leeds back and create width, while Leeds looking to turn the ball over and counter attack quickly. Brighton are odds-on at 81/100, while Leeds are at 16/5 and the draw at 13/5, so the bookies seem to think that the Seagulls have the edge here.
But given that Leeds have made a perfect start to their Premier League 2026/2027 away day with 1 win from 1 and have scored 1.00 goal per-match while conceding 0.00 on the road, we feel that a home win is far from guaranteed. That's not to mention the fact that the Whites have come together in recent weeks, winning 3 straight and 4 of their last 5 in all comps.
Going for goals
Leeds' recent run includes back-to-back Premier League 2026/2027 and EFL Cup 2026/2027 wins over Nottingham Forest on the road, while Brighton's last 4 home games across all comps have all ended in victory, so this looks set to be a real scrap.
Brighton are the likelier side to nick it, but with 1 win each in the last 2 H2H encounters and Leeds' impressive away form so far this season, we'll side with the visitors to secure at least a point.
Under 2.5 goals at 93/100 could also be a solid play here, especially if Leeds keep it tight and Brighton have to work to break them down.
Jack Hinshelwood leads the way for the hosts in the Premier League 2026/2027 with 2 goals in 1 game, while Anton Stach has opened his account for Leeds with 1 goal in 1 game. The in-form visitors have plenty of sting in the attacking third, particularly from midfield with Stach at the helm.
