These implied probabilities reflect the market's expectations, not guaranteed outcomes, and prices can change as traders react to new information. The market settles on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, so extra time and penalty shootouts do not count.

Brighton's case starts with output. They have scored 11 goals and conceded two in their last five league games, winning four, and those goals came from eight different players plus an own goal.

Brentford have lost once in nine league games, and Keith Andrews' side beat Forest despite being outshot 15–7. The question for Sunday is whether Brighton can keep converting chances at their recent rate on a short turnaround, and how Brentford respond if the early goals go the other way.

What is the latest Brighton and Brentford team news?

Brighton are waiting on a fullback and a center back, while Brentford have their suspended midfielders back.

Who could be available for Brighton?

Ferdi Kadioglu missed the win at City with a hip problem from the Liverpool game. Fabian Hürzeler said he was "quite positive" the fullback would be an option for Thursday's Conference League game at Getafe. If Kadioglu is fit, he competes with Costinha, who started at right back at City.

Pascal Struijk, out with a thigh injury, was training with the Under-21s and should return to the senior squad this week, Hürzeler said on October 29. Luka Vuskovic and Lewis Dunk started together at center back at City.

Chema Andrés and Charalampos Kostoulas, who missed the cup tie, started at City. Yankuba Minteh and Mats Wieffer returned from long injuries in that cup tie, and Wieffer came on in the league game.

Which midfielders could Brentford have back?

Yehor Yarmoliuk completed a three-match ban at Forest and is eligible for Sunday. Vitaly Janelt returned from his one-match suspension to start against Forest alongside Mamadou Sangaré and Mathias Jensen, so Yarmoliuk joins a crowded midfield group that includes Aaron Hickey and Mikkel Damsgaard.

Rico Henry (hip and quad) and Fábio Carvalho (knock) are out until after the November international break, Andrews said. Sports Mole lists Joshua Dasilva (thigh) and Antoni Milambo (knee) as not expected back until early November.

Brighton are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1:

• Goalkeeper: Bart Verbruggen
• Right back: Costinha
• Right center back: Luka Vuskovic
• Left center back: Lewis Dunk
• Left back: Olivier Boscagli
• Right center midfield: Pascal Gross
• Left center midfield: Chema Andrés
• Right wing: Diego Gómez
• No. 10: Yasin Ayari
• Left wing: Maxim De Cuyper

How could Brentford line up?

Brentford are likely to line up in a 4-3-3:

• Goalkeeper: Caoimhín Kelleher
• Right back: Michael Kayode
• Right center back: Kristoffer Ajer
• Left center back: Sepp van den Berg
• Left back: Keane Lewis-Potter
• Right center midfield: Mamadou Sangaré
• Center midfield: Vitaly Janelt
• Left center midfield: Mathias Jensen
• Right wing: Dango Ouattara

What could decide Brighton vs Brentford?

Brighton's finishing run and Brentford's habit of drawing level are the pressure points on each side.

How much does the Getafe trip change Brighton's week?

Brentford are Brighton's fifth match in 15 days from October 25, after Liverpool, two games at Manchester City and Getafe on November 5. Hürzeler made wholesale changes for the cup tie and returned closer to full strength at City, so his Getafe selection shows how much he holds back for Sunday.

Brentford have eight days between the Forest game and this one.

Is Brighton's finishing sustainable against Brentford's defense?

Brighton scored ten goals, plus an own goal, from 22 shots on target in their last five league games. A rate that high can swing: at Liverpool on October 25 they had 17 shots and one on target and lost 2–0, while at City they won 1–0 with 7 shots to 21, three of them on target.

Brentford conceded five goals from 17 shots on target over the same five games. Against Forest they made 35 clearances and blocked six shots while keeping Forest to one shot on target.

Can Brentford's scorers break a back line with four clean sheets in five?

Brighton kept clean sheets against Arsenal, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and City, and the two goals they conceded at Liverpool included a Gross own goal. Brentford have scored in all five of their last league games through seven different players, plus an own goal.

Igor Thiago has scored or assisted in each of his last four appearances, including a header from a Jensen cross at Sunderland and a finish from Jaidon Anthony's cross against Forest. Whether Vuskovic and Dunk handle that delivery is the clearest test of Brighton's back line.

Does Brentford's draw record travel to the south coast?

Brentford have drawn five of their nine league games, including 2–2 at Aston Villa and 1–1 at Hull in their last two away league matches. Brighton have drawn once, and they beat Arsenal 3–0 and Crystal Palace 5–0 at home in the same stretch.

What happened in the last Brighton vs Brentford games?

Brighton won both league meetings last season. They came from behind to win 2–1 on November 22, 2025 through late goals from Danny Welbeck and Jack Hinshelwood, then won 2–0 at Brentford on February 21 through Gómez and Welbeck. Gómez started at City and is in line to start again.

Brighton have won five of the last 10 Premier League meetings, Brentford two and three have been drawn.

What could move the Brighton vs Brentford market before Sunday?

Kadioglu's recovery is the clearest pending change: his shot off the bar led to Gómez's opening goal at Brentford in February, and he would challenge Costinha for the right back spot. Struijk's return would add a center back option and could change the Vuskovic and Dunk pairing.
