Brighton vs Brentford Preview
- Date: Saturday, December 27
- Kick-off Time: 07:30 pm GMT
- Venue: American Express Stadium
The Premier League has been very interesting in the recent weeks as the point gaps in the middle of the table has reduced and a single match result can cause major displacement. As it turns exciting, Brighton will host Brentford in the American Express Stadium on Saturday. The match will be officiated by English referee Andy Madley. The hosts will be under pressure as they are yet to register a victory in the last five games of the league. They come into this game after a draw against West Ham at the London Stadium. They played well in the game testing the West Ham defence but were not able to take full three points. The seagulls are currently placed at 10th in the league table. They have so far won six, lost four and drew seven games.
On the other hand Brentford head into this fixture after a 0-2 defeat by Nottingham Forest. This defeat ended their streak of unbeaten games at home. The Bees have had an inconsistent season so far, highlighted by their seven wins and eight defeats along with two draws in the league. They are 12th in the standings. Brentford will depend on the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Mark Flekken and Mikkel Damsgaard to perform positively and take away full points from the clash against the seagulls.

Bryan Mbuemo (Brentford)
Following the departure of Ivan Toney, it was unsure who would take the goalscoring responsibilities and it was when Mbuemo raised his bar in the premier league.

Brighton vs Brentford Prediction
Both of these teams are entering this game winless in their previous three games and Brentford in particular have suffered three consecutive losses. They have been poor defensively as neither sides kept a clean sheet in their previous six games. Fans can expect goals from this fixture as both of their attacks are lethal.
