Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 05/17/26

Brighton are well-positioned for a return to European football, and it’s fitting that they need to negotiate a trip to Leeds in order to stay in the hunt for a top-6 finish. Points dropped against last season’s dismal bottom 3 cost Brighton their second top-6 finish. Fabian Hurzeler’s first campaign was a success, and they can take a huge step towards a return to Europe by showing a more clinical side against promoted opposition. However, Leeds are a much stronger proposition than any of last year’s promoted teams, and they’ve been on a brilliant run to close out the campaign.

Leeds were already safe before their visit to Tottenham on Monday, but they didn’t hold back. Daniel Farke’s side will have been disappointed to draw, but that result stretched their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 7 matches. The Whites have lost only 3 of their last 15 matches across all competitions, and they’ve won 3 of their last 4 at home. While Brighton have the stronger motivation, the hosts should be able to build on their late-season form.
