Leeds United will look to put icing on the cake after securing Premier League survival with a valuable 1-1 draw against Tottenham, but with Brighton wanting this win more, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. Daniel Farke’s side have been particularly impressive at Elland Road lately, winning three of their last four home matches while conceding just 0.25 goals per game there. Leeds are averaging 2.25 goals scored per home fixture during that stretch, but defender Pascal Struijk is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock against Spurs. With safety secured, the Whites can now play with freedom against one of the league’s form teams.
Brighton, meanwhile, continue their push to secure a Conference League place after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton. Fabian Hurzeler’s men have been one of the most consistent sides in recent weeks, winning seven of their last 10 matches while averaging 1.80 goals scored per game. The Seagulls have also been solid defensively, keeping clean sheets in 50% of their last 10 outings. Kaoru Mitoma remains doubtful, but Brighton’s squad depth has allowed them to maintain strong performances throughout the campaign. The visitors also boast an excellent recent head-to-head record, winning 12 of the previous 21 meetings with Leeds.
The Seagulls arrive in stronger overall form and remain highly motivated. Therefore, Away Win is our main betting tip for this Premier League matchup, alongside Brighton Over 1.5 and BTTS (43% H2H).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 15:00.
