Brighton and Hove Albion vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips - 26th December 2021

Round 19 of the English Premier League comes to an end at the American Express Community Stadium where Brighton and Hove Albion play host to Brentford on Sunday.

With both sides level on points and separated by just one place in the league standings, this game has all the makings of an exciting affair.

Brighton and Hove Albion continue to struggle for form in the Premier League as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers last Wednesday.

Graham Porter’s side have now failed to taste victory in 11 consecutive league outings. They have also bowed out of the EFL Cup following October’s loss against Leicester City on penalties.

After a blistering start to the season, where they picked up six wins from seven games in all competitions, they have dropped to 13th place in the Premier League table.

Meanwhile, Brentford suffered a quarter-final exit from the EFL Cup last time out courtesy of a 2-0 loss to Chelsea.

Prior to that, Thomas Frank’s men claimed a hard-earned 2-1 win over Watford which saw their two-game winless run come to an end.

Brentford will now aim to quickly bounce back to winning ways and avoid successive defeats against Brighton after losing 1-0 in September’s reverse fixture.
