Brighton vs Brentford Prediction – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 27/12/2024
Brighton vs Brentford Premier League Prediction Match Details
Friday night’s festive Premier League action will kick off at the Amex Stadium as Brighton hosts Brentford for the round 18 fixtures. Can the Seagulls end their dreadful run of form before the New Year match?
Brighton Preview & Form
After a bright start to the season, Brighton are currently experiencing a dreadful run of form, having gone on a sequence of five games without a win in the Premier League. During that period, they played three draws against Southampton, Leicester, and West Ham while losing to both Fulham and Crystal Palace. The Seagulls come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with West Ham United at the London Stadium in their most recent outing last weekend. Currently, Fabian Hurzeler’s side, who were earlier considered a serious contender for the top four, have now dropped down to 10th in the league table with 25 points and are six points away from the top four. Their attacking frontline has managed to score in 16 of the 17 league matches so far, but they have conceded 26 goals during the period.
Playing on their home soil has been disappointing recently, having produced only one win in their last five home league games. They were defeated 3-1 by Crystal Palace in their most recent home game.
Brentford Preview & Form
Thomas Frank’s side has been struggling with consistency since the start of the new campaign, and they will head into this game on the back of a disappointing three-match losing streak in the league. Their most recent league match ended in a defeat at Gtech Community Stadium, with the Bees suffering a 2-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Currently, the Bees sit 12th in the league table with 23 points and are five points away from European competitions next season.
Brentford, since the start of the new season, has yet to give their away fans any victory, with the Bees losing seven of their eight away trips from the Gtech Stadium this season. They were beaten 2-1 in their last away game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The only area Thomas Frank needs to work on is their defensive duty, having conceded at least two goals in each of their away games.

Brighton vs Brentford Prediction Betting Tips
This is going to be an interesting battle between two attacking sides that have impressed with their offensive play this season. However, we expect Brighton, who have made a bright start, to take advantage of their home and capitalize on Brentford’s poor away form this season.
