Brighton & Hove Albion are battling for European football next season in their final two Premier League matches. The Seagulls are seventh which would put them into the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, but they are two points off sixth which sends them through to the Europa League group stage.
They travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Sunday (15:00 BST, Sky Sports Main Event). Read on for my Brighton vs Leeds predictions, featuring the latest team news and match odds.

Team News
Leeds are managing a few injuries at the moment with Jayden Bogle, Gabriel Gudmundsson (both hamstring), Ilia Gruev (knee), Noah Okafor (calf) and Pascal Struijk (hip) all receiving treatment.
Top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored in his last two matches and he should continue to lead the line for the Whites.
Knee injuries are keeping out Brighton trio Diego Gomez, Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas. Mats Wieffer (ankle) and Kaoru Mitoma (hamstring) are also sidelined for the Seagulls.
Midfielder Jack Hinshelwood has scored in three successive games as he looks to become a wildcard in Thomas Tuchel's England squad.
Leeds vs Brighton Predicted Lineups
- Leeds: Verbruggen; Ayari, Van Hecke, Boscagli, Kadioglu; Baleba, Gross; Minteh, Hinshelwood, March; Welbeck
- Brighton: Darlow; Rodon, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Justin; Stach, Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin
Leeds are 21/10 to claim a third consecutive home win in the Premier League.
The Whites have drawn four of their previous seven outings in the top flight, and the stalemate here is priced at 13/5.
With five victories from seven in the league, Brighton are 6/5 to come away with the three points.
Calvert-Lewin is 8/5 to score anytime for Leeds.
Leeds vs Brighton Stats
- Brighton have won 5 of their last 7 league games
- The Seagulls 4 victories from their 7 meetings in the Premier League
- Over 2.5 Goals has struck in each of Brighton's past 4 fixtures
Match Result - Brighton @ 6/5
Brighton have more to gain from this encounter so I am backing them to come away with the three points on Sunday. Fabian Hurzeler's side are one of the form sides in the division with five wins from their last seven fixtures.
The Seagulls are also unbeaten against Leeds in all seven meetings in the Premier League, five of which have been victories including November's reverse fixture which was a 3-0 triumph at the Amex.
Odds correct at time of publishing.
Total Goals - Over 2.5 @ 4/6
I think Leeds will have a part to play in this contest so I think there will be no shortage of goals at Elland Road. Over 2.5 Goals looks a smart play here because this threshold has been reached in each of Brighton's four most recent outings in the league, as well as their victory over Leeds back in November.
At least three goals have been scored in four of the hosts' past five games in the top flight, including their two previous home matches.
