🅾 PREDICTION: BHA 4 – 2 LEE (BHA to win)
🏠 Home: Brighton & Hove Albion (+9 🏭 Groundsman) — DF:3 MF:0 FW:6
⚔️ KEY BATTLE: Forwards are the decisive zone — Brighton (64) hold a clear edge over Leeds (68 vs BHA defence 46), but Brighton's attack overwhelms Leeds' defence (24), making the forward-versus-defence battle the defining contest of the match.
⭐ ONES TO WATCH: Ruben Gutiérrez (FW, TL:17) — BHA | Iain Pratt (FW, TL:16) — LEE
🎯 VERDICT: Brighton & Hove Albion should win this comfortably at home. Their defensive solidity, boosted by a +9 home advantage split favouring the back line and attack, combined with Leeds' fragile defence (24) against Brighton's powerful forward line (64), creates a significant mismatch. Ruben Gutiérrez will be the decisive figure, and his quality should exploit Leeds' defensive vulnerabilities repeatedly throughout the afternoon.
