Overview
- The tie is level 0-0 and Brighton must win the second leg at the Amex on Thursday to reach the UEFA Conference League league phase.
- Hürzeler is short on options with Yankuba Minteh out for two to three months and Evan Ferguson, Stefanos Tzimas and Carlos Baleba unavailable while Pascal Struijk returns to training.
- Pundits on the Albion Unlimited podcast urged Hürzeler to name a strong starting XI despite the Chelsea fixture, arguing a win would secure six extra European games and valuable income.
- Tromsø remain a real upset risk because they are mid-season fit and set up in a compact, disciplined defence that shut Brighton out in the first leg.
- Coverage has been mixed on how to watch the match, with some outlets saying TNT Sports and discovery+ will broadcast it and others saying the game is only on Brighton’s free club stream with radio coverage on talkSPORT 2.
