Amex Stadium

Brighton and Hove Albion will welcome Brentford to the Amex Stadium on Friday in the Premier League. Brighton and Brentford both go into this game on the back of some poor form. Brentford have the better overall record in the last 5 games but all of their best results have come at home. Brentford’s perfect streak at home was broken as Newcastle United beat them by 2 goals to nil. The Bees are now 12th in the Premier League after losing further ground on the top half of the table. Brighton in their last game did well to take the lead against West Ham United thanks to a goal from Mats Wieffer. However, they conceded immediately with Kudus equalising. Brighton needs to get to winning ways as their position on the table keeps dropping. A win for Brighton would keep them in the top half however a win for Brentford would see them surpass the Seagulls.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford Chance of Winning

The recent head-to-head in recent games between Brighton and Brentford favours the team that will be playing at home in this game. In the last 19 meetings between these two teams, Brentford has won 9 times; 5 games ended in a draw, with Brighton and Hove Albion winning 5 times.

Brighton was looking for a team like Brentford to play for as their play style plays directly into their hands. We expect Brighton to exploit Brentford massively in this game. Brentford will need to be compact in defence however we do not see that happening. Brentford all over this season have failed to perform away from home. The Amex Stadium is a very difficult place to go to and that is not a place we envision where Brentford will get their first away win from. Brighton being good at home and Brentford being bad away from home gives the former a better chance of winning come Friday at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford Predictions and Betting Tips

The majority of the betting websites and bookies have favoured Brighton & Hove Albion to beat Brentford in this game on Friday. Brentford came into this game on the back of a poor performance at home against Nottingham Forest, where they lost 2-0. Brentford’s recent form, with a couple of concerning signs, has not made them massive underdogs in this game. Brighton, on the other hand, goes into this game with no wins in each of their last 5 games. Brighton, however, has done well when it comes to playing at the Amex Stadium. Hence the recent results have not fazed the bookies, with Brighton tipped to be the favourites in this game come Friday.

Brighton and Hove Albion continue to be steady in terms of form when it comes to playing at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls, after 8 games at home, have a decent record. They have 3 wins, 4 draws and a loss to their name. In their most recent game at home, they struggled to get past Crystal Palace who handed them their first home defeat of the season. Brighton generally make themselves very difficult to beat at home this season, and hence they go in as favourites in this game.

Brentford are still looking to get their first away win of the season. Their away record was disastrous, with no wins in their first 8 games. The Bees in those 8 games suffered 7 defeats against the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Fulham, Aston Villa and most recently Chelsea. Brentford are one of the only teams in the Premier League to have not won an away game until now.

Based on the above numbers, here are our following tips and predictions. We do see Brighton beating Brentford in this game. At home, Brighton does amazingly well, and we are yet to see Brentford being consistent, especially when it comes to playing away from home.

Brighton and Hove Albion to score 2 or more goals in this game is our call. The Seagulls have scored 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 games at home this season. Brentford, on the other hand, has conceded 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 away games. Brighton has a very functional attack capable of breaching Brentford’s defence multiple times.

Both teams scoring in this game is also our call. Brentford, despite all their dropped points, have scored in each of their last 2 away games until now. Brighton, for all their impressive performances, does not tend to keep clean sheets. Fabian Hurzeler’s men have kept a clean sheet in just 1 home game this season. The way they play is a major factor as to why they do concede goals.

The safest Brighton asset to back in this tie continues to be Joao Pedro. The Brazilian remains the most consistent and attacking player for Brighton this season. Danny Welbeck also is a great shout considering the number of goals he has scored. Another outside shout has to be Mats Wieffer. The Japanese international was on target in Brighton’s last game against West Ham. Wieffer is a fantastic ball poacher and does often get in the box. The German midfielder is capable of making many goals by himself. It is a slightly left-field shout, but it is capable of getting slightly higher returns if he scores or assists.

Yoane Wissa is involved in most things Brentford does. The striker is key in making more attacks for his team alongside scoring. Wissa already has 9 goals to his name this season with each of them coming from open play. Only Isak for Newcastle United with 10 goals from open play has a higher number than Wissa. This shows that the player is not heavily reliant on penalties to score hence he is the best choice to back when it comes to Brentford.

Final Prediction:Brighton & Hove Albion to beat Brentford.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton and Hove Albion have the support of the oddsmakers to get a win in this game against Brentford on Saturday. Both teams have a lot of things going against them in the league this season. Brentford cannot get their act together when it comes to winning away from home. Being the worst side away from home when you are the best team at home is simply bizarre. Brighton have tailed off massively after a flying start to the season. Their attacking threat has dialled down significantly. However, this is a game that will massively suit Brighton as Brentford are a team that is always on the back foot away from home. We expect the Brighton attackers to be all over the Brentford defence and hence our prediction is for Brighton to win this game by 3 goals to 1 on Thursday at the Amex Stadium.
