Brighton vs Brentford Bet Builder Tip
Our bet builder tip for Brighton vs Brentford is a Brighton win, Igor Thiago and Diego Gomez to have a Shot on Target, and Carlos Baleba to make more than 1.5 tackles.
Brighton win
With momentum from their first clean sheet and an impressive unbeaten run at home, Brighton appear primed for victory, particularly as Brentford have struggled badly on the road.
Igor Thiago and Diego Gomez Shot On Target
In-form duo Thiago and Gomez will fancy their chances at the Amex, where two defensively fragile teams who've conceded 32 goals between them could produce a lively encounter.
Carlos Baleba 1.5+ tackles
Baleba has shaken off his early-season rust, registering eight tackles in his last five matches. With two possession-hungry teams on show, he should have plenty of chances to add to that total.
