Brighton 11/20 Bees 5/1 Draw 3/1
The Bees return from the international break to face probably their toughest away day of the season, at 7/4 promotion-hopefuls Brighton.
But a win at the Amex stadium as recently as January 2015 means the host’s formidable home record should hold no fears for Dean Smith’s men.
Chris Hughton’s side, though, have been formidable on their own patch of late, with no home reverses since January and three wins on the bounce so far this term, with ten scored and none conceded.
They did, however, fail to win in their two away trips ahead of the break, and know a result is needed to maintain early momentum in their promotion bid.
Barring last season’s 3-0 defeat, Bees have more than held their own in recent encounters with the Seagulls, with three out of the last four games featuring a goal or less, and it could pay to side with a tight affair again.
Under 1.5 goals in the match is 12/5, with under 2.5 strikes Evens, while in the correct score markets, a repeat of Bees’ 2015 1-0 win pays 15/1, with a win for the hosts by the same score is 13/2; 0-0 is 10/1 and 1-1 is 7/1.
New loan signing Sullay Kaikai can be backed at 18/5 to score on his debut, with Scott Hogan at 14/5, Romaine Sawyers at 17/5 and John Egan21/1.
For the hosts, anytime scorers include Tomer Hemed at 10/3, Glenn Murray at 19/5 and Elvis Manu at 19/4.
Prediction: 0-0 10/1 Bet of the day: Under 2.5 goals in the match Evens Outside punt: Kaikai to score in a 1-0 win 55/1 Enhanced wincast: Scott Hogan to score anytime in a Bees win 12/1
