‘Our true standing’: Leeds fans tip tight Brighton trip despite defensive worry | OneFootball

Leeds United head to Brighton on Saturday with optimism tempered by caution, as most of a supporter jury tip a tight draw.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the Seagulls thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 then lost 4-3 at Chelsea, impressive going forward yet seen as vulnerable at the back.

Leeds will be without Joe Rodon due to a hamstring problem, and fans expect Daniel Farke to turn to Nico Elvedi, or to slide James Justin inside with Gabriel Gudmundsson at left-back. Gudmundsson’s fitness remains uncertain, while new signing Melvin Bard could cover if required.

Up front, Brenden Aaronson is tipped to start alongside Noah Okafor or Harry Wilson, with deadline-day additions probably a game too soon.

Recent history offers a warning, with no Leeds wins in 10 recent visits and a 3-0 defeat last season. Brighton also reached the Europa Conference League league phase after beating Tromsø 4-0 on aggregate.

Predictions cluster around stalemate, three calls for 1-1 and one for 0-0, with a lone forecast of a 3-1 away win. A point, several suggest, would be a very good outcome.
