On the latest Albion Unlimited podcast, BBC Radio Sussex's Johnny Cantor is joined by former Brighton forward Warren Aspinall as they discuss the Seagulls' possible opponents in the Conference League play-off tie.
Brighton will face CFR Cluj (Romania) or Tromso (Norway) in the key fixture.
Cluj and Tromso are yet to face each other in their two-legged tie, but Cantor believes Tromso could pose a "potential banana skin" for Fabian Hurzeler's side.
"They are placed third in the Norwegian season, which is deep into the campaign as they play across the summer," said Cantor.
In Tromso's Norwegian Eliteserien campaign, they have lost two out of 16 possible games.

In the Romanian SuperLiga, Cluj are also in fourth position, but they have only played three games in the 2026-27 campaign.
Cluj and Tromso's second leg tie will be played on 13 August, with the winner facing Brighton in a two-legged tie on 20 and 27 August, with the Seagulls at home for the second leg.
