The Seagulls, fresh of a loss at Anfield, will visit Brentford, still seeking points to guarantee themselves a spot in EPL for the next season. Match will begin on April 3, at 8:30 PM CET.
Brentford
While being competitive in nearly all of their games, Brentford is still lurking near the bottom of the standings, only five points above the dreaded cut line to the EFL Championship.
Earning a point against Manchester United last weekend helped the Bees to keep the pace with the other hopefuls near the relegation zone, but the issue is that Brentford has not posted an EPL win since late January. Now, with only two scored points in March, the second spring month has to be better for the Bees or it might get really tricky by the end of the tournament.
Brighton & Hove Albion
There is not much left to play for the Seagulls this season, as Brighton & Hove Albion had some hopes in 2024, but not much has worked in their favor.
Eliminated from Europa League by Roma, Brighton can now focus solely on the Premier League finish, as a top-6 spot is still available to claim. The road woes, however, are still a problem, where Brighton has not won since their visit to an outmatched Sheffield United in mid-February, including a loss to Liverpool at Anfield during the weekend.
Prediction ⚽️
The Seagulls won in the first round, finding a “2-1” win in December, but now they will have to go back to London to continue their short road trip.
While the visitors do not have much to play for, the hosts still have to keep their spot in the Premier League for themselves, as the Bees have to be motivated for this one. Considering Brighton & Hove Albion's recent struggles on the road, we will go with Brentford not losing in this one with 1.55 odds 🔥.
