Brighton hosts Brentford in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, December 26th at Amex Stadium (Brighton)
Graham Potter's team is in 13th position in the standings with 20 points. Brighton & Hove Albion have four victories, eight draws, and four defeats after 16 matches. Brighton's calendar has been hit by the coronavirus epidemic in the Premier League teams. The Seagulls were unable to hold matches against Tottenham on 12 December and Manchester United on 18 December, and they were postponed to another date. The last time the Seagulls took the field was on December 15. Potter's men did not cope with Wolverhampton at home (0-1), conceding the only goal in the last minutes of the first half. That setback extended Brighton's winless streak in the Premier League to eleven games.

Thomas Frank's team is ranked 12th in the Premier League standings with 20 points scored in 16 matches. Brentford gained five victories and five draws and suffered six defeats. The Bees also did not avoid the postponement of the league matches. They were unable to face Manchester United on December 14 and Southampton on December 18. The last match in the Premier League was played on December 10, when Thomas Frank’s charges defeated Watford at home (2-1). Last Wednesday, the Bees competed with Chelsea in the quarterfinals of the League Cup and lost 0-2. The outcome of the confrontation was decided by the final ten minutes of the 2nd half, when the home team's defender Pontus Jansson scored into his net, and then Brentford gave away a penalty, which was converted by Jorginho.
In the current season, Brighton and Brentford crossed paths in the fourth-round match in London. That confrontation ended with a minimal victory for the Seagulls (0-1), who achieved success thanks to a goal by Leonardo Trossard in the 90th minute. Brighton has not won in the Premier League for a long time, and now the Seagulls will probably not be able to score three points as well. Losses in the roster are too tangible to count on a victory over the uncompromising debutants of the elite division. Brentford has quite good statistics of away matches. In eight rounds, Frank's charges won two times and gained four draws, losing only to Burnley (3-1) and Tottenham (2-0), while Brighton won only two victories in eight home games.
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win with +0.5 handicap
