Sports Mole looks ahead to Saturday's Championship clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Watford at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton & Hove Albion will be aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to seven home matches when they host Watford on Saturday evening.

Watford, who currently occupy the final playoff spot, are four places above Brighton in the Championship table.

However, the Seagulls can leapfrog the Hornets if they win by a margin of two goals or greater.

Brighton have kept seven clean sheets already this season and boast the second tightest defence in the division.

Gary Dicker and Inigo Calderon are both doubtful for the hosts because of knee injuries, while Andrea Orlandi (rib), Marcos Painter (calf) and Bruno (Achilles) also face late fitness tests.

Watford defender Marco Cassetti will miss the trip south through suspension.

Fernando Forestieri and Prince Bauben are both struggling with hamstring complaints and are unlikely to feature for Gianfranco Zola's men.

Recent form:

Brighton: DWLDDD

Watford: DWWLDW

Possible lineups

Brighton: Kuszczak, El-Abd, Bridge, Dunk, Greer, Hammond, Crofts, Lopez, Bridcutt, Buckley, Mackail-Smith

Watford: Almunia, Ekstrand, Hall, Hoban, Anya, Hogg, Chalobah, Abdi, Pudil, Vydra, Deeney

Sports Mole says: 1-1
