The Bees have not looked as formidable in the current season despite a fairly successful previous season when Brentford finished in the upper part of the league table. At the moment, Brentford occupies the 15th place in the standings, having a five-point lead over the relegation zone. Last weekend, the “Bees” hosted Manchester United and managed to secure a draw with a score of 1-1. Interestingly, both goals were scored in stoppage time – Mount’s goal was answered by Ayer’s precise strike in the 90+9th minute. Nevertheless, Brentford hasn’t won a match in seven consecutive games.
Under Roberto De Zerbi’s guidance, Brighton had a promising start to the current Premier League campaign. However, due to their participation in European competitions, the “Seagulls” failed to manage their resources effectively and struggled in the league. Currently, Brighton sits in the ninth position in the league table. After 29 rounds, Brighton has accumulated 42 points, which is 14 points less than Tottenham, who occupy the fifth position. In their last match, Brighton played at Anfield, where they suffered a 1-2 defeat against Liverpool. This loss marked Brighton’s second defeat in their last three Premier League fixtures.
