Whispers predicts: Jablonec 0-3 Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton are 4/13 (1.31) favourites, but while we agree with the bookies, we want to explore other bets.
Brighton to win (-2 handicap) at 2/1 (3.00) would reflect the gap in quality between the two sides, while BTTS – No at 10/11 (1.91) could also come through given the Seagulls have also kept four successive clean sheets.
Twelve of Brighton's last 14 competitive away matches have also produced 10 or more corners, so Over 9.5 corners at 7/8 (1.88) is our final pick.
Overall, we are predicting a 3-0 Brighton victory, which is available at 15/2 (8.50).
> Over 9.5 corners at 1.88 | Likelihood: High
> BTTS – No at 1.91 | Likelihood: High
> Brighton to win (-2 handicap) at 3.00 | Likelihood: Medium
