Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Premier League newcomers Leeds United to the American Express Community Stadium for a highly-anticipated Premier League fixture on Matchday 10. Separated by only a single point in the table, both sides are looking to establish themselves firmly in the top half and put daylight between themselves and the relegation scrap. Brighton, under the tactical guidance of Fabian Hürzeler, will look to bounce back from their midweek EFL Cup exit and maintain their impressive unbeaten home record this season. Leeds United, freshly promoted and led by Daniel Farke, arrive on the south coast with renewed confidence following a crucial league victory last weekend, aiming to break an extensive and unfortunate historical jinx at the Amex Stadium. This fixture is set to be a test of Brighton’s consistent attacking threat against Leeds’ high-energy, high-pressing approach.

Team Form and Analysis for Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion sit comfortably in the mid-table, currently occupying 13th position after securing 12 points from nine games. The Seagulls’ form has been characterized by inconsistency in terms of results, demonstrated by a 4-2 defeat to Manchester United and a midweek loss to Arsenal in the EFL Cup. Despite this mixed overall picture, their performance at the Amex has been a source of strength, as they remain unbeaten in the Premier League at home this season with two wins and two draws. Fabian Hürzeler’s side has shown a consistent ability to score, netting 14 goals so far, but their defensive record remains a concern, with only one clean sheet in their last 21 league games. They rely on tactical maturity, high possession figures, and quick transitions to create chances.
Team Form and Analysis for Leeds United
Leeds United currently hold 15th place in the league table, just one point behind Brighton, marking a solid start to their return to the Premier League. The Whites recently ended a winless run with a vital 2-1 victory over West Ham United at Elland Road, providing a much-needed morale boost. Under Daniel Farke, Leeds have displayed an attacking intent, but their away form remains the Achilles heel, with only one away win this season against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This inconsistency in road performances will be a point of focus for Farke, as they look to build on their offensive output which has yielded nine goals so far. A major positive for Leeds is the announcement of a fully fit squad, providing Farke with maximum selection options for this critical away fixture.
Head-to-Head Record between the teams
The historical record in the Premier League era heavily favours the home side. Brighton is yet to lose a Premier League match against Leeds United, a run of six matches that includes three wins and three draws. Furthermore, the Amex Stadium is widely considered a ‘bogey ground’ for the Yorkshire side, as Leeds have failed to win in their nine visits there, stretching back over a decade. The Seagulls also hold an impressive record of keeping a clean sheet in their last seven consecutive home league games against Leeds. This commanding psychological advantage will be a significant factor heading into the match.

Players to Watch
Brighton & Hove Albion: Danny Welbeck – The veteran forward has enjoyed a resurgence this season, being Brighton’s leading Premier League goalscorer with five goals. His experience, intelligent movement, and good record against Leeds—having registered three goal involvements in four top-flight appearances against them—make him the key attacking threat for the Seagulls.
Leeds United: Sean Longstaff – The central midfielder has proven to be a shrewd addition for the promoted side. Longstaff provides industry and defensive cover, but his attacking output has also been notable, with his chance creation rates among the best of his career this season. His performance in controlling the midfield and transitioning play will be vital for Leeds’ chances of an upset.
Prediction
This fixture presents a fascinating contrast between Brighton’s stylish, possession-based home record and Leeds’ urgent need to improve their away performances. While Leeds will be buoyed by their recent league win and the availability of a fully fit squad, the historical dominance of Brighton in this fixture, particularly at the Amex, cannot be ignored. Brighton’s unbeaten home run and superior Premier League head-to-head record suggest they will possess the crucial edge. Expect an open game with chances at both ends, but the Seagulls’ tactical maturity should be enough to overcome the Whites’ energy.
Predicted Score: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Leeds United
