Jablonec vs Brighton predictions: Seagulls can soar to another comfortable European win
Joel Rees
Brighton have won six consecutive matches, scoring nine goals across their last two games
Jablonec have lost their last two matches, conceding six goals
Georginio Rutter scored twice in Brighton's 4-0 European win over Kauno Zalgiris
Brighton travel to the Czech Republic on Thursday looking to maintain their excellent form when they face Jablonec in the Conference League.
Fabian Hurzeler's side followed last week’s 4-0 European win over Kauno Zalgiris with a stunning 5-0 Premier League thrashing of Crystal Palace, while Jablonec have suffered consecutive 3-2 defeats against Freiburg and Viktoria Plzen.
The Seagulls have the attacking quality to secure another convincing victory, with Georginio Rutter and Ibrahim Osman among those pushing to impress due to expected rotation.

Team News
Jablonec remain without Kevin-Prince Milla and Lamin Jawo is a doubt with a broken hand after missing the defeat to Viktoria Plzen.
Brighton are still without Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh, Evan Ferguson and Stefanos Tzimas, among others, but Hurzeler is expected to rotate his side.
Need to know
Jablonec and Brighton have never met in competitive football, making Thursday's clash their first encounter.
Jablonec are competing in the main draw of the Conference League for the first time since 2021-22, having won all three of their home qualifiers earlier this year without conceding.
Brighton have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six victories in all competitions, underlining the defensive strength behind their impressive winning run.
Prediction
Brighton's recent form makes them difficult to oppose, with six straight wins and nine goals scored across their last two matches alone.
Rutter can build on his European brace, while Osman will be eager to make an impact if selected. Both can trouble a Jablonec defence that has conceded six goals across their last two outings.
The -1.5 handicap requires Brighton to win by at least two goals, and their recent performances suggest they have the quality to achieve that.
