Brighton have had a congested start to the new season, with their Conference League qualifiers against Tromso squeezed in between their two Premier League games.
The Seagulls now face Leeds United, who have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season and will be optimistic of a solid campaign, on Saturday afternoon.
Brighton v Leeds United Tips Summary
Best Bet - Over 2.5 goals @ 10/11
Alternative Bet - Harry Wilson to score or assist @ 15/8
Bet Builder - Both teams to score, Leeds or draw double chance, Ethan Ampadu to be booked @ 31/4
Brighton v Leeds United Prediction
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ 10/11
Brighton’s jam-packed start to the new season has seen them beat Aston Villa 4-0 and lose 4-3 to Chelsea in the Premier League, as well as recording a 4-0 home success over Tromso in their Conference League qualifier.
The Seagulls' frantic style of play is showing no signs of slowing down and could continue against Leeds, who have caught the eye with both their transfer business and promising start to the campaign.
The Whites have strengthened the spine of their team with the arrivals of James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic and Harry Wilson.
Their improvements have been seen with back-to-back wins against Nottingham Forest in the league and EFL Cup, as well as a solid point against Brentford last weekend.
Their lack of European exploits should leave them fresher for this clash than their opponents, Brighton. The pair have both impressed going forwards this term and an exciting clash looks likely.
Alternative Bet: Harry Wilson to score or assist @ 15/8
The signing of Harry Wilson has brought a fresh dynamic to the Leeds attack and he will be crucial to their chances this season.
The Wales international scored ten goals and registered seven assists in the league for Fulham last term and while he is yet to open his account for his new side, this could be the game in which he does so.
Wilson’s set-piece delivery should be a real plus, particularly after Brighton struggled from such situations against Chelsea last week, and he could be overpriced to either score or assist in this game.
Brighton v Leeds United Bet Builder Tip
Both teams to score
Leeds or draw double chance
Ethan Ampadu to be booked
Pays 31/4
Both teams have been strong in attack this season and can play their part in an end-to-end affair.
Leeds have really kicked on under Daniel Farke and they may be able to grind out at least a point against this Brighton side, to extend their run to just two defeats from their last 16 matches.
The Whites’ midfield destroyer Ethan Ampadu is yet to pick up a caution this season but he was booked 10 times in the league last season and looks a tempting price to fall foul of the referee in this one.
