BRIGHTON - LEEDS
Bookmakers are siding decisively with one team. Brighton is the shortest price on a book of 1.95 / 3.50 / 3.90 (1 / X / 2), an implied 48.6%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 48.6% / 27.1% / 24.3% on an overround of 5.5%.
The draw is unusually well backed at 3.50 (27.1%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.
