An open game could be on the cards at the Amex: Brighton vs Leeds prediction
The third-round Premier League match between Brighton and Leeds will take place on 5 September at the Amex Stadium. The hosts have collected three points from two matches, while Daniel Farke's side remain unbeaten and have four points.
Brighton: exciting attack and worrying defence
Fabian Hürzeler's side began the season with a convincing 4-0 victory over Aston Villa before losing 4-3 to Chelsea in one of the highest-scoring matches of the round. Brighton have also dominated possession, recording more than 73% in each of their opening two games.
The hosts have an impressive home record against Leeds. Brighton are unbeaten in their last 10 home league meetings with this opponent and have kept eight consecutive clean sheets.
Leeds: confident start and strong away form
Leeds began their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest before drawing 1-1 with Brentford. Between those matches, they also beat Forest 2-0 in the League Cup, so Farke's side remain unbeaten in all competitions.
Their improvement away from home has been particularly noticeable, with two away victories already bringing Leeds close to their total for the whole of last season. Their most recent meeting with Brighton also ended in a 1-0 victory for Farke's team.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Brighton are unbeaten in their last 10 home league matches against Leeds.
- The hosts have scored seven goals in their opening two league matches.
- Leeds remain unbeaten this season and have won both of their away matches in all competitions.
Both teams can create chances regularly: Brighton vs Leeds prediction
Brighton dominate possession and look very dangerous going forward, but conceding four goals against Chelsea showed that their defence is far from perfect. Leeds, meanwhile, have started the season well and have already shown that they can be effective away from home.
The history of meetings at the Amex favours the hosts, but the visitors' current form suggests a more balanced contest. With both sides possessing plenty of attacking quality, a high-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome.
