The game
Significant match for Brighton! Currently the second-tier of the Championship with Newcastle (77pts), the club founded in 1901 is well on its way to the Premier League at the end of the season, but will not leave points en route to see Huddersfield or even Leeds His opponent of the day. Fourth with 66 points, the legendary club of the Kingdom is certainly at eleven lengths of Brighton, but could legitimately revive itself in case of victory, reducing the gap to 8 points before the final sprint. Wrestling for the revived climb, or boulevard that opens for Knockaert and company?
Prognosis points for Leeds Brighton
Brighton has a current winning streak of 6 games against Leeds. The last one in December 2016, after a meeting controlled from A to Z (2-0).
Anthony Knockaert’s teammates have lost only 4 of their last 16 games played away. For 3 draws and 9 wins. Costauds.
For his part, Leeds has won only 3 of his last 8 games played. Bof bof for a candidate to rise in the Premier League.
This season, the club that saw Eric Cantona wear his colors won only 3 of his 10 games played against the top 6 clubs.
All the reverse of B & H, which won 8 out of 10. Flagrant mental difference between the two formations!
Leeds Brighton – Our forecast
This game is far too important for the Newcastle dolphins to fall this Saturday. Brighton is superior in all areas of play, staying on a nice series of two consecutive wins and has in his ranks players in form like Knockaert, Baldock, Hemed and Murray, authors of 52 goals to them four this season. Victory of visitors!
Prediction: Brighton win
Odds: 2.20
