Brighton & Hove Albion will aim to bounce back from a defeat last weekend when they host Leeds United at the Amex Stadium on September 5.

Seagulls Aiming to Respond at Home

Fabian Hürzeler’s Brighton & Hove Albion will be back to respond at the Amex Stadium on Saturday following a 4-3 loss at Chelsea last weekend. Plenty of positives can still be taken from their attacking output this term, as the Seagulls have scored eleven goals in their previous three.

It’s their defence that will need improvement after conceding three goals in the opening 45 minutes at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.

Malick Yalcouyé made a dream EPL debut with a goal against Chelsea, while Maxim De Cuyper has recorded three goal involvements in as many appearances. Hürzeler will be without the injured Yankuba Minteh, Jack Hinshelwood, and Kaoru Mitoma this weekend.

Brighton & Hove Albion predicted lineup vs Leeds United (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Kadioglu, Vuskovic, Dunk, Boscagli; Gross, Wieffer; Gomez, Yalcouyé, De Cuyper; Kostoulas

Whites Enjoying Unbeaten Start to New Season

Daniel Farke’s Leeds United have made a reliable start to the 2026-27 season by avoiding defeat in their opening three fixtures. The Whites have scored four goals over that period, and they have kept clean sheets in two of their encounters.

Anton Stach has performed well with two goal involvements in his last three starts. Further quality has been added to the forward line with the addition of Jean-Mattéo Bahoya. The winger registered seven goal involvements in 15 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt last season.

Farke will be without important first-team stars such as Joe Rodon, Gabriel Gudmundsson, and Ilia Gruev this weekend.

Leeds United predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion (3-4-2-1): Trafford; Elvedi, Bijol, Muharemovic; Bogle, Ampadu, Stach, Justin; Wilson, James; Calvert-Lewin

Key stats:

  • Leeds United have failed to win in 17 of their last 20 on the road.
  • The hosts have lost just one of the eight EPL head-to-heads against the Whites.

A Brighton win or draw in the double chance market is the standout selection this weekend. The Seagulls have been excellent in front of their own fans since the start of last season, avoiding defeat in 16 of their previous 20.

That winning form continued on the opening day with a 4-0 win against Aston Villa. Leeds have found victories on the road hard to achieve, with just three wins recorded in their last 20 away fixtures.

The head-to-head trends also favour Brighton, who have avoided defeat in seven out of the eight EPL meetings.
