Bitesize Prediction: Brighton vs Brentford – 06/12/23

Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/7 @ Pribet

In what could be an action-packed affair from the Amex on Wednesday night, Brighton will welcome Brentford to the south coast.

Starting with the hosts, while Brighton might have hoped that they had turned a real corner when returning from November’s international break, the Seagulls came crashing back down to earth over the weekend. Eventually getting hit with a 3-2 loss at the hands of Chelsea, Roberto De Zerbi’s side have struggled to find much stability over the past couple of months. Now holding just a three-point buffer for slipping out of the top-half, the former Sassuolo boss will have a mounting headache over his side’s extended defensive issues. Remarkably winning just a trio of their previous 13 straight appearances across all formats – a run that stems all the way back to September 16th – Brighton have also recorded just a single clean sheet at the Amex since opening up the 2023/24 campaign. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, the Seagulls have seen eight of their first nine home fixtures finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

As for the visitors, managing to make what was a crucial return to winning ways over the weekend, Brentford will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. Eventually cruising their way to a 3-1 romp against relegation scrappers Luton, Thomas Frank’s side have their sights firmly set on securing a top-half finish this season. However, almost sat in top-flight limbo, the midweek guests have gained a reputation for their issues on the road. Last seen on their travels getting hit with a 3-0 drumming against title contenders Liverpool, Brentford have collected just a single win from any of their last five Premier League showdowns outside of west London – a run that stems back to a 3-0 victory against local rivals Fulham on August 19th. In what could be an action-packed affair from the Amex on Wednesday night, we are backing chances to come thick and fast here.
