Brighton have a dominant record at home against Leeds, winning four and drawing one of their last five meetings at the Amex without conceding a goal.

Both sides kept clean sheets in their league openers, and six of the last ten head-to-head clashes have ended in draws. Backing Leeds to secure at least a point offers a well-hedged position.
Leeds enter this knockout clash on a five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, having just defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on August 22.

Both direct Premier League meetings in 2025/26 produced goals for both sides (3-1 and 1-3). Leeds demonstrated potent offensive form across their pre-season, scoring in four of their five matches, while Forest netted multiple goals in their most recent home outings.
