Fixture: Brentford vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Date: Saturday 19 April 2025
Kick-off: 15:00 BST
Venue: Gtech Community Stadium

The match is likely to be a closely contested affair, with both teams looking to exploit their strengths. Brentford will aim to capitalise on their home advantage, despite their recent struggles, while Brighton will look to their attacking players to break down the Bees' defence.

Given the injury concerns for both teams, the match could hinge on which side can better adapt to their absences. Brentford's home form has been poor, but they have shown resilience against top teams. Brighton's attacking flair could be the difference, but their defensive frailties might be exposed.

Match Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Brighton

Brentford's recent form has been a blend of resilience and inconsistency, with a mix of wins, draws and losses. The Bees have shown they can compete with top teams, but their home form remains a concern, with no wins at the Gtech Community Stadium in 2025.

• Igor Thiago (Knee) - Out
• Aaron Hickey (Fitness) - Doubtful
• Fabio Carvalho (Shoulder) - Out

Brentford could be without several key players, which could impact their defensive and attacking options. The absence of Carvalho and Thiago, in particular, will be felt in attack.

• Tariq Lamptey (Ankle) - Out
• Igor Julio (Hamstring) - Out
• Ferdi Kadioglu (Toe) - Out
• James Milner (Hamstring) - Out
• Jason Steele (Shoulder) - Out
• Joel Veltman (Foot) - Out
• Georginio Rutter (Ankle) - Out
• Adam Webster (Muscle) - Out
• Kaoru Mitoma (Heel) - Doubtful

Brighton face a significant challenge with multiple injuries, particularly in defence and midfield. The absence of Webster and Veltman could weaken their backline, while the potential loss of Mitoma will be felt in attack.

Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis Potter; Damsgaard, Nørgaard, Jensen; Schade, Wissa, Mbuemo

Brentford could stick with their 4-3-3 formation, focusing on a solid defensive structure while utilising the pace and creativity of Mbeumo and Schade on the wings.

Verbruggen; Hinshelwood, Dunk, Baleba, Estupiñán; Ayari; Minteh, O’Reilly, Pedro, Adingra; Welbeck

Brighton may opt for a 4-1-4-1 to balance their attack and defence, with Pedro and O'Reilly playing just behind Welbeck and the wingers providing width and creativity.

• Bryan Mbeumo vs Pervis Estupinan: Mbeumo's pace and directness will be a significant test for Estupinan, who will need to be at his best to contain the Brentford forward.
• João Pedro vs Nathan Collins: Pedro's creativity and goal-scoring ability will be crucial for Brighton, and Collins will need to be alert to his movements.
• Yoane Wissa: Wissa has been in fine form, and his ability to score from various positions could be a deciding factor in the match.
  

• Brentford have not won a Premier League match at home in 2025, with their last home victory coming in December 2024 against Newcastle.
• Brighton's João Pedro has scored in each of his last three matches against Brentford, making him a key player to watch in this fixture.
