Brighton & Hove Albion have 15 points to their name this season and occupy 10th position in the table. In their last fixture, Fabian Hürzeler's team won 3-0 against Leeds United (Premier League 2025/26).

The last meeting between the two teams ended with Crystal Palace winning 2-1.

The Fan Zone

Jay Crame (The Eagles Beak): Predicting this before the Conference League game is a little tough but Glasner will be expected to go full strength for this rivalry game against a side that we did the double over last season, so they will want revenge.

It's a very tight match, especially as the two teams are sitting next to each other in the league table heading into the international break.

Prediction: 1-1

Joe Sayers (Albion Obsessed): On the back of our first Premier League clean sheet of the season, we head to South London with a much needed spring in our step.

Last season was grim viewing against our arch rivals, losing 3-1 at home and 2-1 away vs 9 men. The motivation to put that right should be running through the squad, we need those bragging rights back.

We have the perfect opportunity to come out with energy and put them under pressure from the off, much like we did against Leeds. With some of their focus on their Europa Conference League campaign, we will be the fresher of the two when we cross that white line on Sunday.

Jan Paul van Hecke demanded consistency after the win against Leeds in the dressing room, with Fabian Hürzeler firmly beating the same drum.

We absolutely have to show more consistency if we are to get any form of Europe this season. Now is the perfect time to show weve turned a corner.

This one is about the fans, so please Albion Give us something to shout about.

Prediction: 2-3
