Brentford vs Brighton prediction and betting tips on April 03, 2024
One of the matches of the 31st round of the English Premier League will be played on Wednesday evening at the "Brentford Community", where the local Brentford will host Brighton. Will the hosts be able to capitalize on the support of their home crowd? We offer a prediction for this encounter from Dailysports experts.
Brentford
The "Bees," following a relatively successful previous season, where Brentford finished in the upper echelons of the league table, appear less formidable in the current campaign. At present, Brentford occupies the 15th position in the league table, holding a five-point cushion above the relegation zone.
In the last weekend's fixture, the "Bees" hosted Manchester United at home and managed to secure a point, drawing 1-1. Interestingly, both goals were scored in injury time - the hosts responded to Mount's goal with a precise strike from Ayer in the 90+9th minute. Nonetheless, Brentford has been unable to secure a victory in seven consecutive matches.
Brighton
Under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton made a promising start to the current Premier League campaign. However, due to their involvement in European competitions, the "Seagulls" struggled to manage their resources effectively and have faltered in the league. Currently, Brighton sits in ninth place in the league table.
After 29 rounds, the "Seagulls" have amassed 42 points, which is 14 points fewer than fifth-placed Tottenham. Brighton's recent match was held at Anfield, where they suffered a 1-2 defeat against Liverpool. This loss marked Brighton's second defeat in their last three Premier League fixtures.
