Brighton and Brentford go head to head at Amex Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Saturday’s card. Our sportsbook offers the best markets and bonuses in the English Premier League.
Brighton: Rock Solid at Home
Brighton has built an impressive squad this season and will be intent on securing a place in Europe. World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister and midfielder Solly March have been sensational and will look to make their mark in this fixture.
Brighton has won four of its last five Premier League games at home and kept clean sheets in each victory. The club is sitting seventh in the standings with 42 points to its name, five behind fifth-placed Newcastle but with a game in hand, so we will continue to include it in our soccer picks and parlays.
Adam Lallana, Jeremy Sarmiento, and Jakub Moder remain in the recovery room. Evan Ferguson should keep his place up front after scoring a brace in a 5-0 FA Cup victory over Grimsby Town. The Seagulls are soaring in the Premier League, on course for European qualification and the highest finish in the club’s history.
Roberto De Zerbi’s influence is not just about the results achieved but how his team achieves them. Brighton has long been able to play a passing game. Now, total domination of football is becoming the norm. Its recent game against Crystal Palace was the fifth time it enjoyed over 70% possession since De Zerbi took over.
Brentford: Struggling on the Road
With a win against Brighton, European aspirant Brentford can climb to sixth in the Premier League table. The Bees have looked good of late, having gone unbeaten in their last ten matches at home but struggling on the road, winning just three of 13 games.
While Thomas Frank signed a contract extension running until the summer of 2027, Aston Villa, Everton, Tottenham, and Chelsea have all been touted as potential landing spots in various media reports.
Still, taking Brentford into Europe would be an astonishing achievement, and Frank believes there is little reason to want to leave the team. Despite their superb season, if you’re betting online, you shouldn’t back the Bees on the road but expect them to find the back of the net.
Ivan Toney has certainly taken the long road to the top level, but his performances for Brentford this season unquestionably place him among the country’s best players. His tally of 16 Premier League goals is bettered only by Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, so you should once again back him to find the back of the net on Saturday.
Brighton vs Brentford Head-to-Head
Brighton and Brentford are equal on points at this stage of the season with 42, but Brighton has two games in hand.

On the other side, Brentford has won just three road games all season, conceding 20 goals.
Brentford won the reverse fixture, 2-0 on home soil, with Ivan Toney scoring a brace. The previous three Premier League encounters between the two sides have seen a maximum of two goals.
