Leeds vs Brighton prediction

Leeds' end-of-season form has been nothing short of excellent with Daniel Farke's men having put together a seven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League which has now guaranteed their top-flight survival.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's contributions in that run have been key and the striker was once again on target in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Monday.

Also enjoying some strong form, Brighton have taken 16 points from the last 21 available, and now have European qualification in their own hands.

After a huge effort over the last few weeks to steer clear of the relegation threat, we may now see a drop-off in intensity from Leeds, which could potentially open the door for Brighton to continue their European push.
