Brighton faces FK Jablonec in UEFA Conference League
Brighton & Hove Albion travels to the Czech Republic to face FK Jablonec in the second round of the UEFA Conference League league phase on Thursday, October 22, 2026. Brighton enters the match in strong form, currently sitting third in the Premier League with a significant goal difference and a recent 4-0 victory over Kauno Žalgiris.
Jablonec, managed by Luboš Kozel, seeks its first points in the competition following a 3-2 defeat to Freiburg. While Brighton is considered the heavy favorite due to its high-intensity pressing and offensive output, Jablonec maintains a strong seven-match unbeaten home record in European competitions.
Both squads face availability issues. Jablonec is missing several players including Lamin Jawo and Jan Suchan, while Brighton is expected to rotate its squad ahead of a Premier League fixture against Liverpool. Key Brighton absences include Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson.
