Both teams to score – Brighton yet to keep an EPL clean sheet, Leeds have conceded nine in four away games
Brighton welcome Leeds United to the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with the two sides separated by a single point after nine English Premier League games.
The Seagulls will be optimistic about bouncing back from two defeats in the last five days, coming at the hands of Man United last week and last night’s 2-0 loss against Arsenal at The Emirates in the Carabao Cup.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has established the Amex as somewhat of a fortress this season, registering eight points from a possible 12, remaining unbeaten in the process.
Despite this, Brighton sits 13th in the EPL table, with a negative goal difference; a win over Leeds would be viewed as a much-needed three points.
As for the visitors, life back in England’s top-flight has been a success so far; they sit in 15th place, six points clear of the bottom three.
For Leeds, they have found greater success with picking up points consistently at home, as they have lost three of their four away games so far this season.
Daniel Farke’s side enters this game with confidence after seeing out a crucial win against West Ham at Elland Road last time out.
Saturday’s meeting marks only the 19th fixture between the two clubs, with the last coming in 2023, where a 2-2 draw was played out at Elland Road; Leeds have only beaten Brighton twice in their history.
