STAR PREVIEW: Brighton v Leeds

[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ne look at the compact Championship table tells you just how important a match this is for Brighton tonight.

A win keeps them in third but they would move within a point of one of a coveted automatic promotion spot to the promised land of the Premier League.

Leeds are caught in no-mans land in 17th, so this really is a must win match for Brighton who are playing well again after a mid-season blip which was beginning to look desperate.

After a superb start to the season Brighton really suffered in December with a spell of eight games without a win including being knocked out of the FA Cup by Hull.

Since then, they have won four-in-row and bounced back from a 4-1 defeat at Cardiff to beat struggling Bristol City 4-0.

Leeds have scored just four goals in their past seven Championship fixtures and may find a Brighton side on the rampage tonight. I can see a high scoring game and am backing over 3.5 goals and Brighton HT/FT at 3/1 and 13/8 respectively with Star Sports.

A pleasing result with the DRAW at Wembley yesterday 🙂
