Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion Form Guide
Brentford
Brentford have been impressive in the air and clinical when presented with chances. Their ability to create openings using through balls and resilience in coming back from behind makes them a tough opponent. However, they struggle to protect leads, defend against quick counters, and are particularly vulnerable down the wings.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton continues their attractive brand of possession-based football, often breaking teams down through the middle. With strengths in direct free-kick execution and individual skill, they are dangerous in open play. However, defensive frailties remain, especially when it comes to counter-attacks, individual errors, and closing out games.
