LiontipsBrighton vs Leeds. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (May 1, 2021).
Command Analysis
In the last round, Brighton played away against Sheffield United and if they won, they would secure their place in the Premier League for the next season. However, Sheffield United showed everyone that they should be taken seriously, and they beat the Seagulls 1: 0. And so, Graham Potter's charges remained in 17th position in the standings, ahead of the outsiders' group by seven points.
Brighton has not won for four consecutive rounds of the Premier League, having scored only one goal in this run. In addition to losing to Sheffield United, the Seagulls were beaten by Manchester United and drew with Chelsea (0-0) and Everton (0-0).
Only one of these games Brighton played at home - the game against Everton. Anyway, Brighton can't really be called a successful home team. The Seagulls haven't lost too often at home: six times out of 16. But they only won twice, and the remaining eight games were tied.
Brighton have a few injuries: midfielder Solly March, defender Tariq Lamptey and striker Florin Andone won't be able to help their team against Leeds. Adam Lallana's appearance is doubtful.
The Peacocks, unlike their future counterpart, really fought hard in the recent segment of the season. And their rivals were formidable, too: in the last round, Leeds drew with Manchester United at home, and before that also drew with Liverpool (1:1). Leeds also beat the leaders, Manchester City (2:1). In general, Marcelo Bielsa's men have not lost for six matches. During this winning streak, they also tied with Chelsea (0:0) and defeated Fulham (2:1) and Sheffield United (2:1).
Such a successful performance improved the standings of Leeds. The team moved up to ninth place, although it will still be difficult to get a ticket to Europe. The Peacocks have a six-point gap between them and the seventh position.
It is notable that Leeds are the only team in the Premier League that has never drawn away. In 16 away matches, the Peacocks got eight wins and lost the same number of times. This is the 11th result at the moment in terms of playing away.
One of the main strikers, Raphinha Diaz, will not play due to injury. Besides him, Adam Forshaw is also injured, and Liam Cooper is suspended.
