Prediction: 0-1
Brighton & Hove Albion
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Aston Villa Brentford take on Brighton at their Griffin Park. The Bees put an end to their three-match losing run in all competitions and, no doubt, they regained a much-needed confidence. Brentford aim to stay in the race for a place in the Championship play-offs, but they will have a big fish to fry in Sunday’s football match against the league leaders. The Seagulls are on the right track to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Brighton recorded three wins in previous four away games in the league and we predict that the visitors will emerge triumphant in the Griffin Park showdown. The Bees outplayed the Seagulls in the reverse fixture, meaning that Chris Hughton’s troops are hungry for revenge. A man to watch in the away team will be Anthony Knockaert, who has been in a thrilling form this season.
Highlighted Player (Maxime Collin):
After spending two seasons at Boulogne, Maxime Colin joined Troyes in 2012. The pacey right back made 55 appearances for Troyes and in 2014 he signed a three-year deal with Belgian side Anderlecht. On 13 September, 2014 he made his Anderlecht debut, in a 2-2 draw with Lierse. After playing 16 games for the Belgian outfit in the 2014/2015 Pro League campaign, Maxime Colin signed a four-year contract with Brentford in August, 2015 for an undisclosed fee. Reports in England suggested, though, that the fee was around £900,000. Colin made his Brentford debut on 22 August, 2015 in a 1-0 loss to Burnley and it has to be noted that he came on as a substitute 30 minutes before the final whistle. Speaking of his international career, the defender, who was born on 15 November, 1991, has seven caps for the France U20 team.
