Brighton are in poor shape coming into this match. They have lost four of their last five games, and in three of those defeats they failed to score a single goal. Things look a little better for Brentford, who have drawn their last two matches and have managed to score in both of them. However, Brentford have also been struggling recently, having lost three of their last five games.

Looking at past meetings between these two sides, the matches have often been close and fairly low-scoring. Three of the last five encounters have ended in draws, with two of those being 0-0. There have been high-scoring games in the past, including a 4-2 result, but the recent trend suggests a tight contest. Given the current form for both teams and the history of draws, this match looks very open and hard to separate, so it is likely to be a draw.
