Brighton host Leeds at the Amex Stadium in a third-round Premier League clash between two sides showing contrasting trajectories. The hosts have won one and lost one of their opening matches, including a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Chelsea that highlighted their attacking prowess but defensive vulnerabilities. Leeds arrive unbeaten across all competitions, with two away victories already suggesting improved performance on the road under Daniel Farke. Brighton have dominated possession in both games, recording over 73% in each outing, while Leeds have demonstrated efficiency in their away matches—a notable improvement from their previous campaign.
Form and Head-to-Head
Brighton's home record against Leeds is exceptional: unbeaten in their last 10 league meetings at the Amex, including eight consecutive clean sheets. However, recent results tell a different story. Brighton's last 10 home matches show six wins, one draw, and three losses, averaging 2.29 goals for and 1.08 against. Leeds' away form has been particularly strong, with six wins, two draws, and two losses in their last 10, averaging 1.81 goals for and 0.90 against. The pair's head-to-head record is evenly split across six meetings since 2012, with three wins apiece. Leeds won their most recent encounter 1-0 away from home.
Best Bet
Both teams to score represents the standout selection. Brighton's attacking output has been prolific—seven goals in two matches—yet their defensive frailties were exposed against Chelsea. Leeds have shown they can score away from home and remain unbeaten this season. Given Brighton's possession dominance and Leeds' clinical finishing on the road, both sides finding the net appears the most probable outcome. This market is available at 1Win at 1.9.
