Brighton & Hove Albion Preview – Seagulls to move on to ten points?
Brighton & Hove Albion made a stunning start in the Premier League last season, and history is repeating itself at the Amex Stadium. Graham Potter’s men head into this one having collected seven points from three matches, already winning at Manchester United and West Ham United.
Brighton stunned Erik ten Hag in his first game as Man United boss on matchday one, as Albion left Old Trafford with a deserved 2-1 win. They followed that up with a goalless home draw with Newcastle United but bounced back with an outstanding 2-0 victory at the London Stadium last Sunday.
Brighton were tough to beat at the Amex last term, and the in-form East Sussex club will be looking for all three points on their own patch this weekend.
Leeds United Preview – Can Whites build on Chelsea win?
Leeds United stunned Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea last weekend, with goals from Brendan Aaronson, Rodrigo and Jack Harrison securing a resounding 3-0 victory at Elland Road.
United survived by the skin of their teeth last season, but they have started the new campaign in superb style under Jesse Marsch. Before the victory over Chelsea, Leeds beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Elland Road on the opening weekend, which they followed up with a 2-2 draw at Southampton.

Leeds will not be an easy nut to crack for the home side in this one, and Marsch will be looking for a positive result on the coast. The visitors are priced at 14/5 to leave with maximum points.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leeds United Betting Advice
Both Premier League fixtures between the pair last season ended in draws. They played out a goalless stalemate in the game at the Amex in November. At Elland Road six months later, Pascal Struijk’s 90th-minute equaliser cancelled out Danny Welbeck’s first-half effort.
Brighton are undefeated in the last four meetings, winning two and drawing two. Leeds’ last success in this fixture was a 2-0 home win in an EFL Championship affair back in March 2017 – both clubs have come a long way since then.
Key Facts – Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leeds United Betting Tip
- Brighton have already won at Old Trafford and the London Stadium this term
- Leeds beat Chelsea 3-0 last time out
- Both sides have taken seven points from their opening three games
The duo will be well up for this one after making terrific starts. Leeds will still be buzzing from last week’s mauling of Tuchel’s Blues, but we fancy the hosts to edge this one.
Brighton have kept two clean sheets on the spin in the league, and there is good value in 12/5 for Albion to win to nil.
Pascal Gross netted both goals in the 2-1 win at Old Trafford – the German is available at 13/2 to score anytime in this one.
