Saturday’s clash at the Amex Stadium presents a stern test for a Brentford side desperate to correct their poor form on the road.
The Bees have lost four of their five away games this season. Unfortunately, they face a Brighton side against whom they have a difficult recent away record. Interestingly, Brentford are winless in all four of their previous Premier League visits to the Amex.
Manager Keith Andrews will be relying heavily on his star striker, Igor Thiago. The Brazilian is in sensational form. Remarkably, he has scored eight goals in the first 11 games of the season. In fact, only Erling Haaland has scored more in the league. Thiago’s clinical finishing will be vital if Brentford are to secure their first-ever Premier League win at this stadium.
Brentford team news
Keith Andrews has suffered a major blow with the loss of Fabio Carvalho to an ACL injury. This leaves a creative void in the midfield. Consequently, Mikkel Damsgaard is expected to step up in his absence.
Furthermore, defender Kristoffer Ajer is now available after recovering from a back issue. However, if he is not risked from the start, Mads Roerslev is on standby. The midfield will likely be anchored by the experienced Jordan Henderson. This will allow the front four to press high and exploit Brighton’s tendency for high turnovers.
Brentford predicted lineup
Brentford predicted XI: Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Ajer; Henderson, Yarmoliuk; Schade, Damsgaard, Ouattara; Thiago
