Brentford will take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, 21 February in a Premier League clash at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Bees are currently on track to finish in seventh position in the Premier League and qualify for European football for the first time in their history. Brighton, who recently went through a similar experience, know that they must win this weekend if they are to have any chance of a top-seven finish themselves.

Key Stats
- Brentford have won three of their last four matches in all competitions.
- Brighton have won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions.

Correct score prediction: Brentford 2-0 Brighton
Brighton's form has been a cause for concern for some time now, and the momentum Brentford currently have is too strong to ignore. It's also worth noting that Brighton have failed to win at the Gtech in each of their last three visits.

Player to watch: Igor Thiago
