Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Brighton
Leeds United will be looking to regain their spot in top ten when they welcome Brighton at their Elland Road on Matchday 19. The first half of the season has been a mixed bag for the newcomers, but, one thing is for sure, Marcelo Bielsa’s men will stick to their attacking style of play. The likes of Berardi, Forshaw, and Koch are sidelined with injuries, while Llorente should recover in time to face Brighton. The Seagulls, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Man City.
Brighton are eyeing their first league win since November 21, 2020, and seeing that Leeds defeated both Newcastle and Burnley in the previous two home games, we predict that Graham Potter’s charges are going to return home empty-handed. Andone, Connolly, Izquierdo, Lamptey, and Wellbeck remain in the recovery room, while trio Alzate – Jahanbakhsh – Lallana is rated doubtful for the game.
