Third-placed Brighton welcome Brentford to the Amex Stadium on Sunday, with kick-off at 2pm UK time. Anthony Eadson’s Brighton vs Brentford predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

A home win for the league’s top scorers, plus a bigger-priced card angle in midfield.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Brighton to win94/100 (10bet)Brighton have been superb at the Amex this season, taking ten points from four Premier League home games. They have conceded just once there, in a 1-1 draw with Leeds, and kept three home clean sheets. Moreover, nobody in the division has scored more than their 24 league goals. Brentford are hard to beat on the road, with four draws from four away games. However, they are still waiting for a first away win, while Brighton arrive off a 1-0 win at Manchester City. Close to evens with 10bet looks fair value.
Pascal Gross to be shown a card11/2 (Sky Bet)Pascal Gross has been booked in four of his nine Premier League starts this season. Three of those cards came at the Amex, against Aston Villa, Leeds and Crystal Palace. He was also cautioned in the 1-0 win at Manchester City last time out. Moreover, his 14 league fouls are the most in Brighton’s squad. Brentford have drawn all four of their away games, so a tight midfield battle is likely. As a result, Sky Bet’s 11/2 on Gross picking up a card looks far too big.

How Brighton go into the game

Sitting third on 19 points, Brighton have won six of their nine Premier League games. They won 2-0 at Sunderland and thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0 at home in October. A 2-0 defeat at Liverpool followed, but Fabian Hurzeler’s side bounced back with a 1-0 win at Manchester City last time out. Yasin Ayari scored the only goal in the 11th minute.

The Seagulls are unbeaten at the Amex, with three wins and a draw. They have scored 13 goals and conceded once in those four home games. Their 24 league goals are the most in the division, and only Arsenal have conceded fewer than their seven. Charalampos Kostoulas, Ayari, Pascal Gross and Jack Hinshelwood have three league goals each. Gross also leads the squad with four assists.

Brighton won 1-0 at Getafe in the Conference League on Thursday. Kaoru Mitoma, Evan Ferguson, Stefanos Tzimas, Femi Azeez and Zadok Yohanna are all injured. Meanwhile, Pascal Struijk and Ferdi Kadioglu are doubts.

How Brentford go into the game

Brentford sit sixth on 14 points after three wins, five draws and one defeat. That defeat came at home, when Liverpool won 2-1 in October. Either side of it, Keith Andrews’ men drew 2-2 at Aston Villa and 1-1 at Hull City. They then beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at home last time out.

The Bees have scored in all nine of their league games this season. However, they are yet to win away, drawing all four of their road trips. Kevin Schade is their top scorer with three league goals, while Igor Thiago has two goals and two assists. Keane Lewis-Potter and Vitaly Janelt have also scored twice.

Fabio Carvalho is out until after the international break, and Rico Henry has a hip and quad injury. Josh Dasilva, Antoni Milambo and Kaye Furo are also unavailable. On the plus side, Yehor Yarmoliuk is available again after serving a three-match ban.

The Seagulls have won two of the last five meetings, Brentford have won one and the other two were goalless. Last season, Brighton won 2-1 at the Amex and 2-0 away. As a result, Hurzeler’s side go into Sunday with the recent edge in this fixture.
