Players to watch

Charalampos Kostoulas is Brighton & Hove Albion's top scorer in the Premier League this season with 3 goals. In a side that has scored 24 league goals, he leads the way for the hosts.

Kevin Schade fills the same role for Brentford, also with 3 Premier League goals this season. His contribution will be important for a team that has found the net in each of its last 5 matches.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to a Brighton & Hove Albion side that is strong at both ends of the pitch. They have the more productive attack of the two in the league, with 24 goals, and the tighter defence, with 7 conceded. That defensive solidity shows in their recent form as well: they kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 5 matches, scored in 3 of them, and both teams scored in only 1.

Brentford's recent matches have tended to be more open. They scored in all 5 of their last 5 matches but kept just 1 clean sheet, and both teams scored in 4 of those games. Their away record of 6 goals scored and 6 conceded across 4 draws suggests a team that rarely loses on the road but has also yet to win away in the league this season.

The contrast is clear: a home side that has conceded only 1 league goal at home meets a visiting side that has scored in every one of its last 5 matches.
