Seagulls Aiming to Hit Back Following Defensive Disaster

Brighton will be back in front of their own fans on Saturday, as they bid to bounce back following a defensive disaster at Stamford Bridge on MD2. The Seagulls were hapless in defensive areas against Chelsea, conceding three times in the opening 45 minutes on Sunday.

However, their attacking play sparkled throughout, scoring three times in response. The Seagulls have now scored eleven goals in their last three in all competitions.

Malick Junior Yalcouye was an eye-catcher in the defeat, scoring and recording the joint-most dribbles (4) in the match. Jack Hinshelwood will be a notable player missing this weekend, while Yankuba Minteh is also absent due to injury.

Likely Lineup:

(4-2-3-1) Vebruggen (GK); Wieffer, Vuskovic, Dunk, Kadioglu; Boscagli, Gross; Gomez, Yalcouye, De Cuyper; Kostoulas

Leeds Unbeaten in All Competitions

I put up Leeds as my dark horse European contender this season, and there has been plenty to like about their start to the season.

The Whites have remained unbeaten in their three competitive outings in 2026-27, backing up recent back-to-back wins against Nottingham Forest with a deserved 1-1 draw against Brentford last Sunday.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a constant threat in the tie, scoring the eventual equalizer. Anton Stach was a standout player in the midfield, making 16 defensive contributions. Harry Wilson will be fit enough to be recalled on Saturday, while Lukas Nmecha is pushing for a start after an assist in the draw against Brentford.

Likely Lineup:

(3-4-2-1) Trafford (GK); Rodon, Bijol, Muharemovic; Bogle, Ampadu, Stach, Justin; Wilson, Nmecha; Calvert-Lewin

Head-to-Head Stats

• Brighton have won nine of their 15 home matches against Leeds in all competitions.
• Brighton have avoided defeat in eight of their previous nine against the Whites.
• Leeds have picked up just three points from their last ten trips to the Amex.

Brighton vs. Leeds EPL Picks

This should be an entertaining clash at the Amex on Saturday. However, Brighton’s strength at home should be respected. It is also notable that the Seagulls have avoided defeat in their last ten home matches against the Whites. Therefore, despite an interest in the Whites, the logical betting play is for the home win.
