TEAMS PREVIEW

Brighton & Hove Albion Preview

Selhurst Park has been a difficult place for visiting teams, with Crystal Palace unbeaten there in 11 straight games, so Brighton’s point wasn’t a bad return. However, Hurzeler would still have felt a touch of frustration after his side controlled 58% of the ball and had most shots on target in the game. 

The brighter note is their defensive progress — consecutive clean sheets, matching their total from the previous 22 league games. It’s a sign that Hurzeler is tightening things up at the back, just in time for a challenging stretch of fixtures.

Stats that matter 

1. Diego Gomez has the most shots on target per-match (1.2) for the Seagulls this season and he has scored 7 goals in 13 matches across competitions.
2. Yankuba Minteh has created most big chances (4) for Brighton in the league.
3. Brighton are unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season with three wins and two draws. 

Team News 

As in their previous outing, Brighton once again have several doubts heading into this fixture. Kaoru Mitoma, Brajan Gruda and James Milner are all uncertain to feature. On the brighter side, Joel Veltman got minutes in the last match and could be in line for a start.

Brighton Probable XI - Verbruggen (GK); Wieffer, Dunk, van Hecke, F. Kadioglu (Defenders); Ayari, Baleba, Rutter (Midfielders); Welbeck, Minteh, Gomez  (Forwards). 

Brentford FC Preview

The Bees will be buzzing heading into the weekend, having won four of their last five across all competitions. Their latest was a 3–1 triumph over Newcastle, powered by Kevin Schade and an Igor Thiago brace. It’s worth noting, though, that the Magpies went down to 10 men in the 73rd minute, with Brentford’s final two goals coming after the red card. 

Yet Keith Andrews knows the real test lies away from home, where goals have been hard to come by — Igor Thiago, Ouattara and Kevin Schade have combined for just two, compared to 13 at home. Their resolve will be firmly tested at the Amex on Saturday. 

Stats that matter

1. Brentford have managed to win only once on the road in the league this season, while losing four.
2. The Bees have been awarded the most penalties (4) this season and they have three goals from them.
3. Brentford have failed to score only once in their last five matches across all competitions. 

Team News 

Apart from the long-term absence of Milambo, Brentford head into the fixture with a clean bill of health and no suspensions.

Brentford Probable XI - Kelleher (GK);  Aaron Hickey, Collins, Van den Berg, Kayode (Defenders); Vitaly Janelt, Henderson, Demsgaard( Midfielders); Thiago, Schade, Ouattara (Forwards). 

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION vs BRENTFORD FC
Winning Prediction

With both sides level on points and just a win shy of leapfrogging Tottenham into fifth, expect an intense battle for three points. In the meantime, Brighton can take confidence from their unbeaten home record and Brentford’s struggles on the road, also the Bees have never won at the Amex in the league. Thus, all signs point to the Seagulls claiming victory this Saturday.
