Brighton’s loss to Leeds and Bournemouth’s draw with Manchester City on Tuesday dealt another blow to Fabian Hurzeler’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League this season. However, the Albion are still in a strong position to secure European football.

Opta calculate the Seagulls’ odds of qualifying for the Europa League at 14.10% and predict that the club will finish in seventh place overall. Other data analysts feel that Brighton’s chances of qualifying for Europe in any capacity are as high as 91.38%.

With all this uncertainty, The Brighton Base has put together a full breakdown of what needs to happen over the next few days to ensure that the Seagulls qualify for Europe.
