Daniel Farke must end 15-year Amex curse as Leeds United visit Brighton | OneFootball

Leeds United take their unbeaten start to the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but a 15-year hoodoo hangs over this trip to Brighton. Daniel Farke’s side face an in-form opponent on the South Coast.

Leedsunited.news notes that this visit will test the early-season momentum. Leeds have beaten Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and EFL Cup, and drawn with Brentford.

Since the Amex opened in 2011, Leeds have yet to win there. Across 10 competitive visits, they have seven defeats and three draws.

Luciano Becchio was the last Leeds scorer at the ground, netting in a 2-2 Championship draw in late 2012. Eight successive teams have since left without a goal.

Farke has faced Brighton five times across Norwich City and Leeds, with zero wins, one draw and four defeats. His sides failed to score in four of those five meetings.

Brighton are imposing at home this season, winning both matches 4-0. Aston Villa were beaten in the league, and Tromso in UEFA Conference League qualifying.

If Farke wants to show this upgraded Leeds under 49ers Enterprises have an elite mentality, ending the 15-year curse on Saturday is the only way to do it. The match also brings a first reunion with Pascal Struijk after his summer exit.
