Brighton vs Brentford Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Seagulls are unbeaten in their last four matches against the Bees.
We have an exciting post-Boxing Day Premier League contest coming up. Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton side are set to contest Brentford at the Falmer Stadium on Friday. Both teams have failed to register a win in their last three matches as they search for a win here.
After a bright start to the season, Brighton have struggled in recent matches failing to win any of their last five games. This recent run of poor form have seen them drop to tenth in the Premier League standings. In these five matches, they have drawn three and lost two. Fabian Hurzeler’s side are yet to keep a clean sheet in ten matches with defensive calamities at the back being their major problem.
Brentford on the other hand seem to be struggling to win away from home this season. They are yet to register a single away win in the Premier League which has been their biggest problem so far. Although the Bees have found the back of the net 32 times, they have also conceded the same amount of goals. Thomas Frank’s side currently find themselves 12th in the table having accumulated 23 points from the starting 17 matches.

Players to Watch
Joao Pedro (Brighton)
Joao Pedro has been one of the eye-catching players in the team who can win matches alone with his individual quality. This season, he has scored four goals in the Premier League while also laying on three assists. However, he has failed to score in his last five matches.
He will have time to improve going forward. His ability to link up play, create chances, and ability to score goals out of nowhere makes him a threat in this match.
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
Bryan Mbeumo has been nothing short of sensational this season for Brentford after guiding the team to some wonderful victories. His goal tally of ten goals this season is the most in the team having also registered two assists. In the last four matches, Mbeumo has registered two goals and two assists. However, he will be aiming to get back on the score sheet after failing to score in the last match.
