Brighton vs Brentford Analysis
Brighton have been one of the most impressive sides in the Premier League this season, currently sitting in third place with a 6-1-2 record. They’re just five points behind title-holders Arsenal, and two points behind Manchester City, who are in second. The Seagulls have the best goal difference in the top flight (+17), bagging 24 goals while conceding just seven in nine games.
While they have lost two of their last four games across all competitions, Brighton bounced back last weekend with a massive 1-0 victory over Manchester City, just days removed from Sky Blues knocking them out of the League Cup. Swedish international Yasin Ayari was the difference-maker at the Etihad, scoring the match’s only goal in the 11th minute. Given the Seagulls’ recent success against Brentford, the hosts will be feeling confident ahead of Sunday’s affair. They’re also unbeaten at home in the Premier League this term.
The Bees have also enjoyed a solid start to the campaign. The visitors have snatched 14 points from nine games, posting a 3-5-1 record. They’ve drawn more times than any other club in the top flight, and Brentford has conceded only nine goals this season while scoring 16. Kevin Schade leads the way with three goals, while talisman Igor Thiago is starting to come alive, netting in back-to-back games
Keith Andrews’ men are coming off a convincing 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at home on Halloween. An early own goal put the Bees ahead before Thiago sealed the deal with a second half strike. All four of Brentford’s road fixtures this term have ended level, and a draw here would certainly be considered a respectable result considering just how well Brighton are playing.
Brighton vs Brentford Injury News
Brighton have several injury concerns ahead of Sunday's clash, with Kaoru Mitoma (hamstring), Evan Ferguson (ankle), Stefanos Tzimas (knee), and Femi Azeez (thigh) all expected to miss out. Pascal Struijk is also doubtful, while Ferdi Kadioglu could return after recovering from a hip injury.
Brentford will be without Rico Henry (hip and quad) and Fabio Carvalho (knock), while Antoni Milambo is not expected to be ready despite returning to training. Josh Dasilva is nearing a first-team return but remains unlikely to feature. Yehor Yarmoliuk is available again after serving his three-game suspension.
Brighton vs Brentford Picks
Brighton haven’t tasted defeat across all competitions at the Amex this season, keeping three clean sheets in those six games. Although Brentford did look impressive against Forest, the Bees are flying high on home turf, and I don’t see the visitors giving them issues on Sunday.
Pick: Brighton -113/TonyBet
