Brighton vs. Brentford Prediction
Brentford has been impressive at home, but their away run has been dreadful. When these two teams clashed at the Amex Stadium last time, the Seagulls had emerged victorious with a 2-1 margin.
Thomas Frank’s side are yet to win an away game this season, so we expect Brighton to earn a narrow victory over the Bees.
- Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Brentford
