The pre-season calendar offers yet another match between two Premier League clubs this week as Brentford lock horns with Brighton & Hove Albion in an intriguing fixture at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday.
Brentford finished in ninth place in the Premier League standings last season and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The Bees were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Boreham Wood in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.
Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, secured a sixth-place finish in the league table and have been in excellent form in recent months. The Seagulls suffered a narrow 4-3 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in their previous game and will need to bounce back in this match.
Brighton & Hove Albion have an excellent squad at their disposal and have made a tremendous amount of progress under Roberto De Zerbi. Danny Welbeck and Deniz Undav scored against Chelsea last week and will look to replicate their feats in this match.
Brentford also have impressive players in their ranks but will need to step up to the plate in this match. Brighton & Hove Albion are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
