In total they scored 58 and conceded {49 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 3 and lost 7 with 26/28 goals scored/conceded.

Brighton U21 might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Leeds United U21 proved too strong as Brighton U21 slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans. A mental game with plenty of goals last time out for Brighton U21, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fun game, will this match be as enjoying?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fulham U21 wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The EFL Trophy trip to Walsall.
