FK Jablonec host Brighton in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Brighton arrive with some really eye-catching form figures behind them, while Jablonec's recent run has been much more mixed.
Both sides have already had a taste of continental football this season, Jablonec twice against Rangers and Brighton in a routine win over Tromso. Whether that European exposure counts for much once this fixture comes around is still an open question.

Brighton's scoring run vs Jablonec's stop-start form
Brighton's numbers jump out straight away: 13 wins from 20 matches, 45 goals scored and only 20 conceded. That sample covers the Premier League, the League Cup, the Conference League and some pre-season friendlies, so it's not a pure league record, but the pattern of goals at both ends keeps repeating. Wins like 5-0 at Coventry and 4-0 over Aston Villa sit alongside a 4-3 defeat at Chelsea, so this isn't a side that simply shuts up shop.
FK Jablonec: 20 completed matches; Brighton: 20 completed matches.

Jablonec's picture is less clear-cut. Ten wins, four draws and six losses from 20 matches, with 24 scored and 18 conceded, points to a team that goes both ways. They've won plenty at home, including Conference League qualifying victories over Rangers and Rīgas FS, but their last few Czech Liga outings include defeats to Sparta Praha and Slovan Liberec mixed in with a home win over Baník Ostrava.
Brighton's underlying scoring habit looks a good deal steadier than Jablonec's home form right now.
Comparative Team Statistics: FK Jablonec vs Brighton


Goals look likely, control less certain
Both teams have been involved in games with goals at both ends recently. Brighton have had matches finish 4-3, 3-4 and 5-0 inside the last month alone, while Jablonec have had 3-0 and 2-0 wins alongside a 1-2 and 2-3 loss. Neither side's recent sample points to a tight, cagey afternoon being the most likely outcome.
Jablonec's home wins in this stretch have generally stayed low-scoring, but they've also shipped goals in home defeats to Rangers and Varazdin in Europe. Brighton, by contrast, have scored in pretty much every fixture in this sample, home or away, which suggests goals should be there for the away side even if the final scoreline is hard to call from this distance.

Brighton's scoring record looks the more eye-catching of the two, but it comes from a mixed bag of competitions and doesn't guarantee anything once European football is added into the equation. Jablonec have shown they can compete at this level, beating Rangers home and away in qualifying, even if their domestic form has cooled off lately.
With no odds attached to this one and the sides pulling from such different pools of matches, we're happy to sit this one out rather than force a pick from the numbers we've got.
