The Bees sit sixth with six points from four games, having scored seven and conceded four, while the Seagulls occupy a respectable 63rd spot with four points and a tidy four‑nil defensive record. Brentford’s unbeaten run of three draws and a win suggests they will be looking to convert their solid goal output into a full three points at home.
