Brighton v Brentford

AUDACIOUS FROM DE CUYPER! Gross crosses well from the left, and the acrobatic Belgian just sees a flying volley go the wrong side of the left post!

We're back underway for the second half on the south coast.

45'

Substitution

The second of the Bees' double switch sees Hickey withdrawn for Nathan Collins.

45'

Substitution

There seems to be an element of damage limitation with the interval's Brentford changes. Ouattara is replaced by Yehor Yarmoliuk.

45'

Substitution

The previously booked (and biffed) Andres is off at the break. On comes Mats Wieffer.

Hurzeler's men have been in total control today. They've seen four of their 10 shots fly on target and have played above their 1.46 xG with aplomb, as both momentum and possession have firmly been in the Seagulls' clutches. The depleted Bees have really lacked any sort of sting, and that has been in large part down to Thiago's moment of madness and the intensity of Brighton's press. Andrews' side have been in survival mode for much of the first half, yet will at least want some sort of reaction, as their meagre 0.39 xG has followed zero shots on target from three attempts. At the time of writing, Brighton are cruising with a 97.7% chance of victory according to the Opta Supercomputer. A draw comes in at just 1.9%, while a Brentford turnaround is even less likely at 0.3%.
