Brentford’s form has also been impressive, and they rank sixth in the Premier League. The Bees have only lost once in nine league matches so far, making this a clash between two in-form teams.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in eight out of 12 Brentford games across all competitions, with all four misses finishing on exactly two goals. Their games have been quite open, and the Bees haven’t struggled to find the back of the net. However, their biggest task at the Amex here will be keeping Brighton at bay. With 24 goals scored in just nine Premier League matches, no side has been more efficient in the final third than Fabian Hurzeler’s men.

Michael Oliver is the designated referee for this clash on the south coast, and he is likely to be kept busy - Brighton and Brentford have been two of the most ill-disciplined sides in the Premier League so far.

The Seagulls are averaging 2.4 cards per game this campaign, and they have picked up at least two bookings in seven of their nine matches. When playing at home, this bet has landed in three of their four matches. Brentford have an identical hit-rate when playing away this season, and they have picked up 22 yellows in their nine matches. The Bees have also been shown three red cards, which is a league-high.

With Ferdi Kadioglu still out with injury, Costinha looks set to retain his spot at right back. The Portuguese international is averaging 1.66 fouls per 90 across all competitions for Brighton, and he will be directly up against Kevin Schade this weekend.

The Brentford winger likes to be direct in his play, and look to beat his defender. He is one of the more technical players in the Brentford squad, meaning he typically sees plenty of the ball. Schade is averaging 1.8 fouls drawn per 90 across all competitions this season, and he was fouled three times against Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Schade should also find duels against Chema Andres this weekend, when he looks to invert centrally, or even in transitional scenarios. Andres is given a significant defensive responsibility under Hurzeler, and he is averaging 2.53 fouls per 90 across all competitions. This selection has landed in six of his seven appearances overall - the only miss came against Man City, but Andres was shown a yellow card for his first foul, and then withdrawn after 64 minutes.

The Spaniard is also averaging 3.07 tackles per 90 this season, which is the highest in the Brighton squad, which shows just how willing he is to jump into tackles, and he should have plenty of duels to contest this weekend.

Yasin Ayari scored Brighton’s winner at Man City last weekend, so he should come into this clash full of confidence. The Swedish international only managed one shot in that game as the Seagulls were forced to defend deep for large periods, which was the first time he has failed to land this selection all season. Ayari is averaging 2.9 shots per 90 from his nine starts across all competitions this season, and he has been incredibly consistent at landing this selection.

Ayari has already chipped in with three Premier League goals, matching his tally from the previous campaign. Over half of his efforts in the league have come from outside the box, and his confidence should be sky-high.
