Brighton & Hove Albion - Brentford betting tips and odds

By pricing a home win at around 2.02, the bookies made it clear that Brighton & Hove Albion are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

It would be a minor miracle for Brentford to win at Brighton, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.35 price on most online sportsbooks.

Albion are coming on the back of a narrow home defeat 0:1 at hte hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers . The match could have gone either way, but the opposition displayed better form by grabbing an early lead and holding on to it until the very end.

Brentford’s previous home outing ended in triumph, but the road there wasn’t easy. Their opponents Watford took the lead in the first half, leaving The Bees on the back foot despite the initial 2.30 odds on a home win. Their luck was much better later on, though, resulting in a narrow 2:1.

The Seagulls’s home games tend to not feature a lot of goals. Two of their most recent matches at The American Express Community Stadium ended with less than 2 goals at the end whistle.

The Bees can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Premier League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Brentford. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without David Raya, Tarique Fosu-Henry, Joshua Da Silva, Ivan Toney, Julian Jeanvier, Zanka. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.76.
