Brentford go up against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League 2022-23 at the Brentford Community Stadium in London on Saturday, October 15, 2022. The match will start at 12:30 AM IST (Indian Standard Time).
Brentford are playing their second-consecutive Premier League season, following the successful campaign last season. The Bees have shown the potential to breach the Top Eight, particularly in the 4-0 win against Manchester United, but have failed to consistently deliver top performances. The 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United last time out highlighted their defensive frailties this season.
Meanwhile, Brighton’s high-energy playing style has reaped rewards for them this season. The recent 3-3 draw against Liverpool at Anfield was a sign of Brighton’s unshattered resolve and overall development despite the change at the helm. The Seagulls will look to bounce back after a 1-0 defeat in a closely-fought game against Tottenham.

Brentford top picks and players to watch vs Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League 2022-23
Ivan Toney: The 26-year-old striker has been Brentford’s talisman in their recent success in the EFL Championship and the Premier League. In the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, Toney has smashed six goals and made two assists in nine matches. His exploits include a hat trick against Leeds United in September 2022. Toney’s all-round centre forward play makes him a dangerous proposition against any opposition.
Mathias Jensen: Brentford’s no. 8 has been one of the most eye-catching playmakers in the league this season. Jensen has registered a goal and two assists in Premier League 2022-23 campaign, while averaging 1.8 key passes per game and a goal conversion rate of 20 per cent. With 2.7 tackles per game, Jensen is also a vital cog in breaking the opposition’s attacks and helping the team kickstart the offensive transitions.
Brighton & Hove Albion top picks and players to watch vs Brentford Premier League 2022-23
Leandro Trossard: The Belgian winger has hit a purple patch at the start of the 2022-23 season. Trossard has five goals and one assist in the Premier League for Brighton, including a hat trick against Liverpool at Anfield. His high-pressing nature of play is a nuisance for the defenders and based on his current form, Trossard is expected to play an important role at Brentford.
Pascal Gross: After his opening day brace at Old Trafford, Gross has made three more goal contributions for Brighton in the Premier League this season. Gross averages 2.1 key passes per game with an overall passing accuracy of 75 per cent. The German has also made a good impact defensively, winning more than half of his duels and making 1.4 successful tackles per game.
Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League 2022-23 prediction
Recent record and current form are in favour of Brighton & Hove Albion in this Matchday 11 game against Brentford. The Seagulls did the double over the Bees last season and have been one of the top offensive teams this season.
Brentford’s home form has been patchy so far this season. While Ivan Toney and Mathias Jensen have been in good form, overall Brentford are unlikely to be a major concern for Brighton. The hosts are tipped to end up on the losing side at the Brentford Community Stadium.
