LiontipsBrighton vs Brentford. Prediction (2.50) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Brighton last win was on November 23, when they managed to beat Bournemouth 2-1 away. Since then, the Seagulls have played five matches in the Premier League, drawing three times and losing twice. It is clear that Fabian Hürzeler men have been in a slump for a long time, as they have not faced a single top opponent in this period.
In the previous round, https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/pages/en/home target=_blank rel=noopener>Brighton played away to West Ham, opened the scoring in the second half, but failed to maintain the advantage (1:1). Before that, there was one of the worst matches of the season against Crystal Palace (1:3). The team has obvious problems in defense – they have failed to keep a clean sheet for ten matches in a row, taking into account all tournaments.
Given the recent numerous failures, the "seagulls" approach the upcoming game in tenth place in the table, the prospects for the fight for a place in the European Cups are becoming more and more vague with each round. Today, Brighton is six points behind Bournemouth, who are in sixth place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milner and Welbeck are out injured, with March, Viffer, Kadioglu, Hinshelwood and Webster all questionable.
Interesting trends for betting

Current form
Brentford suffered their first home defeat in the Premier League this season in the previous round. The Bees were beaten by Nottingham Forest, who held the Londoners' attack at bay - a 0:2 defeat. Before that, Thomas Frank men had two more unsuccessful away games - against Chelsea in the Premier League (1:2) and Newcastle in the League Cup (1:3). The losing streak reached three matches, which has not happened yet this season.
Brentford are 12th in the league table with 23 points. They are two points behind their tenth-placed opponents today. It will be tough to fight for a place in the European Cup zone, given the Londoners' dismal away statistics - just one point in eight matches played. This is the absolute worst indicator among all clubs in the Premier League.
In many ways, the recent failures are connected with huge losses in the team. This is especially true for the defense line, in fact, in recent matches Thomas Frank has had a hard time getting together a four defenders, there is no talk of any rotation of the team, and now there is a very tight schedule of games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Da Silva, Jensen, Hickey, Henry, Pinnock, Thiago, Nunez, Ajer and van den Berg will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brentford have been behind in the first half in four of their last five matches
- At least three goals have been scored in nine of the Bees' last 11 Premier League games
- Both teams to score have played in 13 of Brentford last 15 Premier League matches
- Brentford have been caught offside more often than their opponents in three of their last four meetings
Tentative line-up: Flekken - Roerslev, Mee, Collins, Lewis-Potter - Janelt, Nergaard, Damsgaard - Mbeumo, Wissa, Sade.

1.44Tip and bets
Brighton have not won for five rounds in a row, and they have not been the toughest opponents. We think that today the hosts have a great chance to break the losing streak. Brentford have lost seven out of eight away matches in the Premier League since the start of the season, have huge problems with their squad, especially in defense, and have virtually no opportunities for rotation. Given the Bees' defensive lapses, there is a high probability that the Seagulls' victory will be more than convincing.
Our prediction is a Brighton win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 2.50
Bet on total
Both teams are far from being at their peak form and are experiencing difficulties in defense. At the same time, judging by the style of play, we have quite attacking teams in front of us, and even taking into account all their problems, they will clearly not rely only on defense. We expect high results and open football.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.72
Bet on corners
When choosing bets on the match, we recommend paying attention to the trend in corners for the visitors. Brentford have not taken more than four corners in six of their last eight away matches in the Premier League. It is unlikely that the Bees will surpass this mark today.
Prediction - Brentford corners total under 4.5 with odds of 1.50
