Brighton are trading at a shade of odds-on on the 1x2 betting market for their upcoming clash against Leeds. This implies that they have a higher than 50% probability of winning this game, although some punters might be reluctant to back them at the prices considering that they often stall in front of their own fans.
Graham Potter’s side finished ninth in the overall standings last season, although they only won five of their nineteen games at home. Conversely, they collected 29 of their 51 points on the road and perhaps their style of play is better suited to away games rather than trying to break teams down.
Danny Welbeck is fit and has started the campaign brightly although he’s never been a prolific scorer for club or country. However, the form of Leandro Trossard and Pascal Gross has been excellent at this early juncture and the defensive side of things look sharp after conceding just one goal in three games.
What Are the Best Bets for Brighton v Leeds?
If Brighton have one of the best defences in the Premier League right now, then Leeds have a vibrant attacking department. Thanks to Rodrigo coming out of his shell this season, the Yorkshire club have seven goals in their first three matches and they will look to continue their unbeaten run at the AMEX Stadium.
On the 1x2 market, the draw has to represent better betting value than the home win based on the stats, with Jesse Marsch’s side certainly capable of repeating Newcastle’s goalless draw a fortnight ago. We think a low-scoring encounter could be on the cards and that’s mainly to do with Brighton’s lack of firepower.
