Brentford will be aiming to put an end to their seven-game winless run in the Premier League when they take on Brighton on Wednesday evening. The Bees saved one point from the Manchester United game thanks to Kristoffer Ajer’s late goal, but they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to avoid relegation. Sergio Reguilon remains on the sidelines through suspension, while all Norgaard, Mee. Pinnock, Da Silva, Hickey, and Schade continue to miss out with injuries.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, failed to spoil Liverpool’s party at Anfield on Sunday and given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that Brighton have suffered four defeats in the previous five away games in the national championship. As for the visiting side, all Joao Pedro. James Milner, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, and Solly March remain in the treatment room.

Players to watch
Kristoffer Ajer’s late, late goal for Brentford was the second game in a row the Norwegian international defender has scored in and he’s a danger at set-pieces having scored seven goals for previous club Celtic. He is a big price at 15/1 with 49jili to score anytime.
Danny Wellbeck stunned Liverpool with that early goal at Anfield and that is likely to mean he will keep his place in London. The ex-England striker is 13/5 with 49jili to score again on Wednesday.
Brentford vs Brighton Prediction
Brentford produced an outstanding display in the 1-1 draw to Manchester United on Saturday. The fact that the Bees registered 31 shots on the occasion says enough. The good news for Thomas Frank is the return of his important attacker Bryan Mbeumo who came on from the bench in the second half of the affair against the Red Devils four days ago.
Brighton have been struggling to perform on travels lately. They won just one of the last eight league games on the road. The Seagulls also have four defeats in the previous five away matches in the Premier League. We see the value in backing Brentford to claim the spoils at the 2.45 odds.
Brighton shipped two or more goals in all but one of the previous away outings in the league. Brentford’s talisman Ivan Toney should have a lot of space to deliver in the final third. He missed bountiful chances to score on Saturday and even had a goal disallowed against Manchester United. We like the 2.20 odds offered for Toney to score anytime against Brighton.
