Brentford vs Brighton: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

With both of these sides searching for an upturn in form, we believe that will be on show at the weekend, as both these sides cancel each other out and record a draw at the GTECH Community Stadium.

Brentford are without a win in their previous three league games and have conceded first in four of their previous five league games. At home, the Bees are winless in nine matches in all competitions on home soil, with their last league win at home taking place in December.
Brighton & Hove Albion are not in particularly great form themselves, with the Seagulls going five games without a victory in their last five games in all competitions. As with Brentford, the Seagulls have also been suspect defensively, conceding first in five of their previous seven games.

The last two meetings have resulted in a draw, and with both teams conceding consistently as of late, we are going for a 1-1 draw at the GTECH Community Stadium.
