Key Players To Watch In Brentford FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Yoane Wissa (Brentford FC)

The DR Congo international has already scored more goals this season than he did last season. Furthermore has managed to double his goal contributions since his first two seasons in the PL for Brentford.

Wissa had scored seven goals each in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, and after that he scored 13 goals in the 2023-2024 season and now 15 goals in the 2024-2025 season. Wissa is arguably the best player in Brentford's ranks, and his impressive 15 goals and four assists in 29 PL games this season are a testament to that statement. Further, he scored recently against Arsenal as well to help his team grab a much-needed point.

Joao Pedro (Brighton & Hove Albion)

The Brazilian international is doing well in the Premier League, and he has also outdone his previous season's goal tally. As of the 2024-2025 season, Joao Pedro has scored 10 goals and has six assists to his name in 26 Premier League appearances.

Pedro has scored against big teams as well this season, namely two goals against Arsenal in two meetings, in which both matches ended in a draw. He was also the best player against Manchester City in their first meeting this season, where he scored a goal and assisted the other, leading to Brighton winning 2-1. Pedro also scored a brace against Leicester City in their last Premier League fixture and is in great form.

Brentford FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction

Both teams are coming off a draw from their previous matches and will look to battle it out for the three points. Brentford will put up a great fight despite Brighton having the edge historically in this fixture and being unbeaten against them for almost two years. Both teams have great in-form goalscorers, and we predict this fixture to end in a draw.
