Seagulls’ weekend odds – Millwall
The Amex was rocking with the biggest home crowd in 30 years for the Seagulls last Friday when Craig Mackail-Smith inspired a comfortable 3-0 success over Sheffield Wednesday.
Smith was on the score sheet again at Vicarage Road on Tuesday, when his second-half penalty was enough to secure three more points against Watford.

Hide AdGus Poyet will be particularly pleased to have kept back-to-back clean sheets, but with all the leadings teams winning in midweek, Brighton remain one of a number of clubs chasing the Holy Grail of the Premier League.
Albion are now single figures for the first time this season to clinch the title at 9/1 with BetVictor with promotion 11/4.
The 5/2 to finish in the top six available before the Sheffield Wednesday game has shrunk to 4/5 in the face of considerable support and consecutive wins.
Mackail-Smith has moved joint top of the Championship scoring charts on six alongside Blackpool’s man-of-the-moment Tom Ince, and is 9/1 second favourite to lift the golden boot behind Blackburn Rovers hotshot Jordan Rhodes. The former Huddersfield man is 5/1 favourite with Ince 12/1.

Hide AdMacKail-Smith looks nailed on to finish the season Top Albion goal scorer and those holding pre season 13/8 vouchers will be congratulating themselves with current odds now 2/7.
A trip back to London to take on Millwall is this weekend’s task and punters might be surprised to see Albion chalked up as slight outsiders at 7/4 with the hosts, who fell 2-0 at home to Cardiff on Tuesday, 13/8 favourites.
The draw can be backed at 23/10 and it’s that price that appeals to me with the Lions sure to be fired up after losing to the Dragons.
