ℹ️ Team News: Brighton

Solly March (Knee surgery) and Adam Webster (Cruciate ligament injury) are unavailable for Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler.

We think that The Seagulls could employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Bart Verbruggen, Mats Wieffer, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Ferdi Kadioglu, Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari, Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter, Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck.

📋 Team News: Brentford

Brentford manager Keith Andrews has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Antoni Milambo (Cruciate ligament tear), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery) and Fábio Carvalho (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.

We believe The Bees appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Caoimhin Kelleher, Michael Kayode, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Aaron Hickey, Yehor Yarmoliuk, Jordan Henderson, Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Brentford will have their work cut out to be putting a goal past this Brighton & Hove Albion lineup who we think will get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore predicting a highly competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Brighton & Hove Albion at the end of the 90 minutes.

There should be little in it.
