Saturday’s match between Brentford and Brighton should be a great encounter with both teams fighting for European places. We’re set for goals in this game with stats strongly supporting that both teams will go for the win. I’m tipping Over 2.5 Match Goals and Both Teams to Score at 1.80.
Brentford – Goals Flowing at the Gtech
Brentford have scored 52 league goals this season and averaged 1.88 goals per home game so far. Impressingly, they’re the only team in Europe’s top five leagues to have two players (Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo) with 15+ league goals each.
They’ve seen over 2.5 goals in 63% of their matches (20 of 32) and both teams have scored in 66% (21 of 32). That’s also happened in three of their last five matches including their 1-1 draw against Arsenal, who knocked out Real Madrid in the Champions League mid-week. Defensively, they’ve kept just one clean sheet at home all season, which backs both teams to score in this bet.
Brighton’s Goalscoring Away Form
Brighton have scored 51 goals, averaging 1.59 per game, and are even better on the road with 1.75 goals per away game. They’ve been involved in over 2.5 goals in 75% of their away matches and more importantly to our tip they’ve also seen this at least three goals scored in their last nine Premier League games.
Both teams have scored in 69% of Brighton’s matches and in five of their last six overall. Despite a 7–0 loss to Nottingham Forest (their only game without scoring away), they responded with a five-game unbeaten run including a win at Chelsea and a draw against Manchester City. Defensively, they’ve kept just four clean sheets in 16 away games.
With both sides showing strong attacking numbers, poor clean sheet records and a history of high-scoring games this season, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at 1.80 looks like great value.
