Predicted Score
2 - 1
Brighton U21 enter in strong form, especially at home, with a potent attack (3 goals/game last 5) but some defensive frailty. Aston Villa U21 are unpredictable: good away results but a poor defensive record, conceding 2+ per game. Both teams are involved in high-scoring matches, and recent H2H meetings have been competitive and goal-rich. Expect an open contest, with Brighton U21's home advantage and recent momentum giving them a slight edge.
