Jablonec
BrightonForm guide
Brighton are third in the Premier League with 16 points from seven games and are flying. They have won six in a row in all competitions, scoring 22 and conceding just 2, with wins including 5-0 at Coventry, 3-0 against Arsenal and 5-0 against Crystal Palace at the weekend. They opened their Conference League campaign with a 4-0 home win over Žalgiris Kaunas.
Jablonec have had a mixed season. They beat Rangers 1-0 at home in qualifying and won 1-0 at Brno earlier this month, but they lost 3-2 at Freiburg on Conference League matchday one and 3-2 at home to Viktoria Plzeň at the weekend. They have won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six home games.
Head-to-head
We found no previous meeting between the two clubs.
Team news
Brighton have a long injury list in attack, with Mitoma, Minteh, Ferguson and Tzimas all reported out, and some rotation is likely. Even so, their squad is far stronger than Jablonec's. Jablonec report no absences.
Our prediction and why
We take Brighton or draw (X2). Brighton have won six in a row and are much the stronger side. Jablonec's decent home record and the likelihood of rotation are why we cover the draw instead of backing an away win.
Other bets to consider
Over 1.5 goals is our second pick. Ten of Brighton's eleven competitive games this season had at least two goals, and both of Jablonec's last two games finished 3-2.
