AI reasoning

Brighton has shown strong recent form with 4 wins in their last 5 matches, while Leeds has struggled with only 1 win in their last 5. Brighton's overall season performance is also superior, with a higher win percentage and better goal difference. Leeds has a tendency to concede goals, which could favor Brighton's attacking capabilities.

Risk

Leeds is at home, which can sometimes provide an advantage, but their recent form and overall season performance suggest Brighton is more likely to win.
