Brentford-Brighton is a match for the 11th day of the Premier League: here are the probable formations, where to watch it on TV and the prediction
BRENTFORD – BRIGHTON | Friday 9pm
Two teams separated by just four points in the table – Brighton are ahead – who come into this Premier League round of 12 fixture from a defeat. Brentford’s was a heavy one at Newcastle, a five to one defeat that went down without a hitch for the English side. Less heavy, but just as bitter, was that of Roberto De Zerbi’s team, who took over from Potter who had moved to Chelsea: the Italian coach lost the derby against Antonio Conte. A home debut with a defeat then for the former Sassuolo man, who had managed to draw at Anfield in his first ever appearance on the English bench.
Well, a challenge, that of Friday night, which seems to be open to any result. Certainly, it seems difficult for Brighton to lose again, especially given what the visiting side have shown so far in this league. Courage and personality, in all areas, and belief in their own means. The last confrontation between the two teams – unofficial, in a friendly in July – saw Brentford manage to win. It’s unlikely to happen again, also because last season, Brighton won both home and away.

The Prediction
A draw seems to be the result that could really come out in this match. With De Zerbi still expected to postpone his first win since taking the Brighton shirt. A match which should also see both teams score.
