Brighton – Brentford Predictions and Preview

  • Friday night’s festive Premier League action takes place at the Amex Stadium, where Brighton aims to bring back the magic of the season by ending a disappointing five-game winless streak (3 draws, 2 losses). The most frustrating part of that run for the Seagulls’fans is that they failed to secure victories from leading positions in two of their last three games.
  • Returning home may well help the Seagulls regain their confidence. Their recent 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace here was their first Premier League game of the season (3 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss). No matter the result, the consistent theme throughout Hürzeler’s short reign to date has been goals from both teams. In 16 of his 20 games in charge, both teams have scored, including nine of his 11 competitive home games (5 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses).
  • Sitting two points behind the hosts over the Christmas period, Brentford travel here in similar poor form, having lost four of their previous five competitive games in the lead up to the holiday season (1 win). Stating that he has a “very strong starting XI on the sidelines,” Brentford boss Thomas Frank clearly has a tough job ahead of him to navigate the packed festive schedule in the midst of an injury crisis.
  • Playing away doesn’t usually help the Bees in their quest for points either. They’ve picked up a Premier League low of one point on their travels this season (1 draw, 7 losses). In fact, only relegation-threatened Everton had picked up fewer away points than Brentford’s ten across the entirety of 2024 ahead of this round (excluding promoted/relegated sides). Despite their failures, each of Brentford’s last seven competitive away defeats at least saw them score exactly once.
  • Players to watch: Mats Wieffer scored his first goal in Brighton colours to help his side earn a point last time out. It was the midfielder’s fourth straight club goal and the team opener. For Brentford, Yoane Wissa has scored in every other appearance across his last eight competitive games. He failed to score last time out but has netted before half-time in his last five scoring Premier League appearances.
  • Hot stat: Brentford have alternated between wins and defeats in their last five league calendar year-ending league games (3 wins, 2 losses), most recently losing in 2023.
