Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leeds United Preview – Match Preview
Brighton are 13th in the Premier League after an up-and-down start to the season. The Seagulls haven’t won any of their last six league matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding 15.
Under Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton had a good run earlier, going five games unbeaten in all competitions, winning three and scoring 11 goals. But that form ended with two straight defeats — first a 4-2 league loss against Manchester United, then a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the EFL Cup. In that game, Brighton created several chances with 18 shots and an expected goals (XG) of 1.61 but still conceded twice in the second half.
Leeds United, managed by Daniel Farke, have had a similar start. They have won only three Premier League games this season and collected just three of their 11 points away from home.
Their only away win came in a 3-1 victory over Wolves. Before that, they drew 2-2 with Bournemouth and lost 2-1 to Tottenham, followed by a 2-0 defeat at Burnley.
Leeds bounced back with a 2-1 home win against West Ham at Elland Road, where Brendan Aaronson and Joe Rondon scored early. Leeds controlled the match well, finishing with an XG of 1.49 compared to West Ham’s 0.65.
