Brighton & Hove Albion will aim to launch a last-ditch push for European qualification when they travel to Brentford on Saturday for Premier League matchday 33.
Last week at the Emirates Stadium, Brentford took full advantage of Arsenal's rotated lineup by snatching a share of the spoils thanks to Wissa’s 74th-minute strike, which left them parked in the lower half of the standings with 43 points and an 11th-place ranking.
In contrast, Brighton have only themselves to blame for complicating their chase for a European spot as they twice let the lead slip away and had to settle for a frustrating 2-2 draw against second-from-bottom Leicester City, a result that widened the gap to seventh-placed Aston Villa to six points.
Brentford vs Brighton Hove & Albion Betting Tips : DRAW
Given that both sides have stumbled out of form lately and their chase for continental qualification is slipping through their fingers, we reckon these evenly matched mid-table outfits might neutralize one another in a game that lacks real spark. While hosting the match gives Brentford a theoretical edge, it may prove irrelevant considering their troubling home form which has seen them fail to register a single victory since dismantling Newcastle 4-2 in early December and since then they’ve only scraped together three uninspiring points (D3 L5). While the Seagulls kicked off 2025 in fine form, their momentum has crumbled lately with no wins in their last five matches across all competitions, and last weekend’s frustrating 2-2 stalemate against Leicester only reinforced their growing reputation as one of the league’s most frequent stalemate merchants. With 12 stalemates from 32 league outings, Brighton have earned a reputation as draw specialists and only Everton have shared the spoils more often (14), yet we believe Hurzeler's side could be heading for another deadlock against Brentford given that three of their last four EPL clashes ended level including back-to-back goalless affairs. That said, all signs point to a low-tempo showdown where two teams of similar quality might neutralize one another in a tactical battle that may struggle to catch fire.

Brentford team news
While Igor Thiago, Fabio Carvalho, and Josh Dasilva continue their extended spells on the sidelines, Brentford could soon be boosted by Aaron Hickey’s long-awaited return from a serious injury.
No new setbacks mean we could see a repeat of the eleven that battled to a well-earned 1-1 draw at the Emirates last weekend.
