Brighton vs Brentford: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Brighton vs Brentford in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Brighton vs Brentford

• Date: Saturday, 22 November 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Amex Stadium

Brighton's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can hold their own at home, especially with those solid wins against Leeds and Newcastle. They'll be looking to exploit their attacking flair, particularly through the likes of Welbeck and Gomez, who have been key in their recent victories. Brentford, on the other hand, have been quite impressive, especially at home, with big wins against Newcastle and Liverpool. They'll be keen to keep their momentum going, relying on their solid midfield and the pace of Schade to cause problems for Brighton's defence.

However, Brighton's ability to draw against tough teams like Crystal Palace and Wolves suggests they can be resilient when needed. This match could be a tight affair, with both teams likely to go for it, but Brighton might just have the edge at home. Brentford's recent loss to Crystal Palace shows they can be vulnerable away from home, which could play into Brighton's hands if they manage to control the game's tempo.

• “This is our castle. We want to make it really difficult for opponents to come. I am happy with how far we are but we have to keep pushing.” Fabian Hurzeler

• “Fabio’s injury has made it a tough week. He’s someone I have a lot of respect for as a man… We will support him really well, as we always do.” Keith Andrews

Brighton's recent form has been a mixed bag, with two draws, two wins, and a loss in their last five games. Their home form has been particularly strong, with convincing wins against Leeds and Newcastle, which bodes well for this match.

However, their draw against Crystal Palace and loss to Manchester United show they can struggle against well-organised teams. If they can harness their attacking prowess at home, they should be able to put up a good fight against Brentford.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs Crystal Palace (A)

• Win: 3-0 vs Leeds (H)

• Loss: 2-4 vs Manchester United (A)

• Win: 2-1 vs Newcastle (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Wolves (A)

Brentford have been in fine form, winning three out of their last five games, including impressive victories against Newcastle and Liverpool at home. Their only recent away loss was to Crystal Palace, which might be a concern as they travel to Brighton. However, their ability to score goals and their solid midfield could help them challenge Brighton. If they can replicate their home form on the road, they'll be a tough nut to crack for Brighton.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 3-1 vs Newcastle (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Crystal Palace (A)
• Win: 3-2 vs Liverpool (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs West Ham (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Manchester City (H)

The head-to-head record between Brighton and Brentford has been closely contested recently, with Brentford securing a 4-2 victory in their last meeting on 19 April 2025. Prior to that, the teams played out two goalless draws, showing their ability to be defensively solid against each other. Brighton did manage a 2-1 win in December 2023, but Brentford also had a convincing 0-2 victory in a summer series match. This suggests that both teams are capable of winning, but recent results slightly favour Brentford.

Fabian Hurzeler says he’s “really proud” to be leading Brighton into his 50th Premier League game and wants the Seagulls to be known not just for strong values but for sustained success. He described the Amex as “our castle”, highlighting a home record of just three league defeats under his watch and insisting they must keep pushing to make it a nightmare venue for visitors.

On the squad front, Yasin Ayari and Brajan Gruda are both available to face Brentford, with Jack Hinshelwood fit enough for a place on the bench. Solly March is expected to be back in two to three weeks and is already back around the group, which Hurzeler called “so exciting”. Kaoru Mitoma has fully healed from his ankle issue but his return date remains uncertain as the staff manage his pain levels. Hurzeler also warned that Brentford under Keith Andrews will be a tough test, praising their effectiveness, set-piece work and game management.

• Antoni Milambo (Knee) - Doubt

Keith Andrews has confirmed a major blow for Brentford, with Fabio Carvalho ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering an ACL injury in training. Andrews said the midfielder hasn’t had as many chances as he’d have liked to give him and stressed the club will rally round him during his rehab.

The Bees boss also underlined his desire to keep Vitaly Janelt, whose deal runs out in the summer, calling him a key character and “glue” in the dressing room who knows the club inside out. He brushed off speculation around Kristoffer Ajer’s future, pointing out the defender has been an important and consistent part of the side when fit.

Andrews wants Brentford to keep playing in a way that both wins games and gets fans on their feet, and says the squad have returned from the international break in good spirits despite mixed results for their countries. He highlighted Igor Thiago’s dream of representing Brazil and said the club will do all they can to help him reach that level, while also admitting he “nearly pulled a hamstring” celebrating Troy Parrott’s recent goal for Ireland.

• Predicted lineup: Verbruggen (GK), Wieffer (DF), Van Hecke (DF), Dunk (DF), Kadioglu (DF), Baleba (MF), Ayari (MF), Minteh (MF), Rutter (MF), Gomez (MF), Welbeck (AT)

Brighton's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defensive structure while allowing their attacking midfielders, like Gomez and Rutter, to push forward and create scoring opportunities. Their recent form indicates they'll need to be sharp in both defence and attack to overcome Brentford's challenge.

• Predicted lineup: Kelleher (GK), Kayode (DF), Collins (DF), Van den Berg (DF), Hickey (DF), Henderson (MF), Yarmolyuk (MF), Ouattara (MF), Damsgaard (MF), Schade (MF), Thiago (AT)

Brentford's predicted lineup shows a balanced approach, with a strong defensive line and a dynamic midfield led by Henderson and Yarmolyuk. Their recent performances suggest they'll look to control the midfield and use the pace of Schade to exploit any gaps in Brighton's defence.

• Welbeck vs Collins: This will be a crucial battle between Brighton's experienced striker and Brentford's solid defender.

• Baleba vs Henderson: The midfield duel between Brighton's young talent and Brentford's seasoned campaigner could dictate the flow of the game.

• Gomez (Brighton): Gomez's creativity and goal-scoring ability make him a vital part of Brighton's attacking threat.

• Schade (Brentford): Schade's pace and directness on the wing could be key to unlocking Brighton's defence.
