• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 06.12.2023
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
• Venue: Amex Stadium (Brighton)

The time in the season when Premier League clubs play three league matches in just six days has arrived. The previous round was characterized by several thrilling matches and a high number of goals scored.

Brighton participated in a game where five goals were scored at Stamford Bridge, yet they left with no points. Matches like these are becoming characteristic of the team managed by Roberto De Zerbi. Brighton held possession and dictated the game’s tempo for most of the match. However, their weak defense, which has not kept a clean sheet in 14 consecutive league matches since the season’s start, led to their downfall.

Conversely, Brentford managed to rather easily secure a victory against one of the league’s weakest teams, Luton, at home, with a final score of 3:1. This victory moved Brentford up to a mid-table position, with a total of 19 points. Despite dominating the first half of the game without scoring, the Bees made up for it in the second half, thanks to Neal Maupay, Ben Mee, and substitute Shandon Baptista. This victory was crucial for the club to break their two-game losing streak, leaving them in high spirits for their trip to southern England.

Brighton vs Brentford pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Brighton has been known for their top-notch and efficient football for a long time. However, a series of injuries have crippled the team, leaving Roberto De Zerbi in a position where he has to make adjustments for each match. Despite this, the team remains a strong force able to score three goals against any club. Nevertheless, due to injuries among the defenders, the team’s balance has been affected and they are prone to conceding numerous goals. This is the style of football they’ve been showcasing in recent weeks. In the most recent two Premier League matches, they let in 5 goals and failed to maintain a clean sheet even against Sheffield Utd, the league’s weakest team.

The face-off between these clubs at the Amex Stadium last season is one that will be reminisced and discussed for a considerable period. A total of 6 goals were netted, split equally between both teams. The forthcoming match also appears to be one where both teams will commence without any defenses from the onset, making ‘Both Teams to Score’ the most prudent prediction.
