The Seagulls welcome a Leicester City side in free fall to the Amex Stadium this weekend, with the visitors having lost their last eight Premier League matches without finding the net once.
While Brighton themselves are winless in four competitive fixtures, their strong home form—winning four of their last seven on home soil—gives them a significant advantage against a Foxes team staring relegation in the face.
All eyes will be on whether Jamie Vardy can rediscover his scoring touch as Brighton host Leicester in what could prove decisive for both clubs' season trajectories.

Brighton vs. Leicester preview
Brighton welcome relegation-threatened Leicester to the Amex this weekend in what looks like a total mismatch on paper given the visitors' catastrophic run of form.
The Seagulls have hit a rough patch themselves, winless in four and coming off a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, but they'll fancy their chances against a Leicester side that's lost NINE consecutive Premier League matches.
Fabian Hürzeler's men have been reliable at home, winning four of their last seven at the Amex, and they'll be looking to Yankuba Minteh and João Pedro to provide the attacking spark against the league's leakiest defense.
Leicester's offensive woes are downright alarming - they haven't scored a single goal in their last eight Premier League outings and sit a massive 15 points from safety with just seven games remaining.
The December reverse fixture ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Jamie Vardy and Bobby De Cordova-Reid scoring late goals to salvage a point for the Foxes, though that feels like ancient history given their current predicament.
Brighton have injury concerns with Ferdi Kadıoğlu, James Milner, and Tariq Lamptey among seven players sidelined, while Leicester will be without Issahaku Fatawu and Harry Souttar.
Recent head-to-head meetings between these clubs have been goal-fests, with their last six encounters producing a whopping 24 goals (4 per match on average).
I reckon Brighton will finally get their clean sheet here against a toothless Leicester attack - a comfortable 2-0 win for the home side feels on the cards.
