The American Express Community Stadium will be the venue for the meeting between Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford this Friday at 9:30 p.m. (Dominican time), as part of the 18th day of the Premier League. This meeting promises intensity, with the two teams separated by only two points in the standings.
The locals arrive at this match with the objective of getting back to winning ways after a draw against West Ham. Brighton have displayed inconsistent form this season, with six wins in 17 matches, and a tight goal difference: 27 goals scored and 26 conceded.
Although they showed solidity at times, the Seagulls failed to fully exploit their home advantage. In eight home matches, they have recorded three wins, four draws and just one defeat. It’s a positive statistic, but not enough for a team aiming to stay in the mid-table.
On the other hand, the Bees approach this challenge with the objective of bouncing back from their recent defeat against Nottingham Forest (2-0). With seven wins so far this season, Brentford have shown some attacking power, scoring 32 goals, but they have also encountered defensive problems, conceding the same number of goals.
