Brighton vs West Ham Prediction

Brighton Form

A draw is the best Brighton can show from their last three games, where they came up short in a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace. A2-2 draw with Leicester followed before they were defeated 4-2 by Brentford. Brighton won three of their previous six matches at The American Express Community Stadium in the Premier League. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring nine goals to eight against.

West Ham Form

West Ham managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring seven time and letting in five.

Brighton vs West Ham Betting Tips

Jarrod Bowen shows decent form right now for West Ham, as he scored two goals in his last six games in the Premier League. The visitors need more from him, though, when facing Brighton, who are strong favourites on Saturday. Siding with Joao Pedro also look a nice prospect as he scored three goals in his last six Premier League matches.

Brighton claimed four wins, drew four and lost two of their previous 10 home matches across all tournaments. West Ham won two, drew three and lost five of their last 10 games away. Should Brighton pull off a home win on Saturday, it could be an entertaining affair, since they only won one games to nil in their last 10 attempts.

West Ham scored 1.2 goals per game and both teams scored seven times in this run.
