In a decent world Brighton and Hove Albion wouldn't be playing this game. They finished third in the Championship but the play-off system meant they didn't automatically claim the third promotion spot. A loss to Sheffield Wednesday (who finished just the 15 points behind them in the regular season) in the semi-finals broke their hearts and condemned them unjustly to another season in this division. The same happened to Derby County who lost to Hull City in their semi-final match. A new season starts and both teams will be looking to win automatic promotion this time around and that won't be at all easy in what looks an even more competitive division than ever. Both games between these two sides last season ended in score draws. Brighton will be keen to get some revenge on Derby as that final home draw against County seriously hit their automatic promotion hopes. Betting on both teams to score looks a good bet here.
