With our given history of playing Brighton away, it would be reasonable to imagine that we probably won’t win today and even a draw would be a very good result.
We haven’t beaten Brighton away since our respective league one times with a 0-3 win and goals from Snodgrass, Beckford and Neil Kilkenny.
Their success in the Premiership, which has now been nearly 10 seasons, is a great testament to how, with respect, a small club can not only survive in the Premiership but quite notably, flourish, the players they have recruited and sold on for huge profits is astounding.
However I’m writing this post to not only praise Brighton's story but also ours. I do think this game today could be a measure of where we might be already in our progress in the best league in the world.
There’s a long way to go yet but breaking Brighton today at their ground will give the lads more belief of what they can achieve and where they are going with our club.
I’ll be very interested in how this game pans out, hopefully in a very positive way. I don’t think we will be so vastly outplayed like in that first half against Brentford. But having said that, Fabian Hurzeler‘s free flowing attacking football will cause us some problems. Just glad Wellbeck isn’t there anymore.
I’d like to think we can nick a win today but I suppose a draw would be good for us.
Pundits and bookies are having us to lose this game 2-0 or 2-1.
We’ll see!

Excellent post, Opti.
Unfortunately, not there today as away in France, but it was a very difficult watch sitting with some Brighton coaching mates last season as we put in a dire performance and simply didn't turn up on the day.
Saying that, this is a very different team, coached by a much wiser and astute Daniel Farke, and I honestly believe, with our best side out, we are now the equal of Brighton.
I think it will be a draw, but wouldn't be surprised to see us nick a 1-2 at the Amex.

Cracking post, OP. We already bust the Florist hoodoo, so let's hope we can do the same with Brighton. ?

Previous 8 matches at Brighton total aggregate score Brighton 15 vs Leeds United 0.
It's the ground of all grounds that Leeds United have floundered this millennium.
All this, and we are without our Superman ?♂️ Mr Joe Rodon.
Logic Head says 1 nil, but hey, let's be optimistic, and we actually score a blooming goal there, so final prediction.
Brighton 1 vs Leeds 1. Dcl penalty.

We walk away with at least a draw today! We can do this! Great post!

My history of accurate predictions is piss poor, so all I'll say is that I can't see it being a high scoring game, and would not be surprised if it ends up nil nil.
So, go out and put a bet on 3:3.

Or just back the draw, JR, then maybe we win. ?

I would take a draw today, but a win is long overdue!
Will have 1 eye on the Leeds game & the other on Wakey Trinity.. my niece's husband, Max, plays his last home game for Trinity; he's been there 13 years & he's moving to York!
Up The Whites Down The Pints. ??? & Up The Trin. ❤️??

2-0 for me, unfortunately.
On the upside. Newcastle look well beatable. Should be 1-5 down at half time. Bournemouth playing well, except their central mf, who is crap lol.
South Coast teams, eh. Doing well. Maybe my Canvey Island be in prem soon. ?
