Our last-six model flags 1 qualifying strike here. Reading Jablonec first, then Brighton, out of their last six: NG 3 and 5.
Brighton lean hardest on Bart Verbruggen (9.5), Lewis Dunk (8.5), Olivier Boscagli (8.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
Played at Stadion Strelnice, capacity 6,280. Sigurd Smehus Kringstad takes charge.
The read: Brighton at 1.167 is heavily fancied away from home. Backing a favourite at that price only makes sense on the handicap. The late money is pointing the same way.
