Brighton v Brentford Prediction: 9/2 Seagulls may need to show patience

Brighton will look to consolidate their place in the top three in the Premier League table when they host Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

The Seagulls have been the surprise package in the Premier League this season, having taken 19 points from nine games.

Brentford have also caught the eye under Keith Andrews and the Bees could move to within two points of their hosts with a victory.

Brighton v Brentford

Brighton v Brentford Prediction

Best Bet: Brighton to win @ 9/10

Brighton look to be back on track after their first sign of adversity last month, when they went three games without a win.

That is not something to panic about, but given the form that Brighton are in, it was a surprise to see them go three games without a victory.

Fabian Hurzeler's team drew 0-0 with Jablonec in the Conference League, lost 2-0 to Liverpool and exited the EFL Cup on penalties after a 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

The Seagulls responded by beating the Citizens 1-0 in the Premier League last week and they followed up with a 1-0 win over Getafe in Europe.

Brighton have yet to lose at home in six matches and they will fancy their chances against a Brentford side who are winless on the road.

Alternative Bet: Half-time/full-time - Draw/Brighton @ 9/2

Both Brighton and Brentford pride themselves on their defensive work-rate and neither club has conceded more than nine goals.

Brentford will look to frustrate their hosts for as long as possible and they have been able to start fast under Andrews.

The Bees have the fourth-best record in the first half in the Premier League and Brighton may need to show patience in a game that should be close for large periods.

    23/5

Brighton have set the standard in front of goal this season, having scored 24 times in nine games, the most in the division.

While the Seagulls have conceded only seven goals, Brentford have been able to score in all seven of their games on the road.

The Bees have also failed to keep a clean sheet all season on the road, though, pointing to another high-scoring game.

Brighton midfielder Diego Gomez is one to watch in front of goal, having registered 10 shots on target this season, with five of them coming in his last five appearances.

At the opposite end of the pitch, Igor Thiago should remain Brentford's biggest threat. He has registered three shots on target in two games, scoring two goals during that time.

Thiago may also catch the attention of the referee, having committed 17 fouls already this season. He has conceded 14 in six matches and will look to unsettle the Brighton defence with his physical approach.
