THE PREDICTION
Brighton are starting to come under a bit of pressure after having gone off the boil so hugely in terms of results. Brentford in contrast have lost just one of their last five Premier League fixtures and may see an opportunity to capitalise on the vulnerability of the Seagulls. Whilst Brighton are expected to dictate the contest with home advantage in their favour, when taking into account their lack of cutting edge in front of goal then it’s likely that a low scoring affair is in prospect. The most recent six league matches involving Brighton has seen under 2.5 goals scored in each and the same outcome is to be backed in this one.
Tip: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
