Brighton vs West Ham Predictions

Brighton lose a lot of games and struggle to keep the goals out in the Premier League. West Ham are also leaky, out of form, and can play out a high scorer at the Amex.

In 62 matches there have been 22 draws with Brighton winning 21 times and West Ham 19.

Brighton Form

Brighton’s form has tailed off recently after a six-match winless run in all competitions. The Seagulls’ European qualification chances have also decreased following three league defeats in four.

The south coast club returned from the international break with defeats to Aston Villa 3-0 and Crystal Palace 2-1. Brighton then drew 2-2 at home against relegated Leicester.

This downturn in form continued as Brighton lost 4-2 at Brentford. Fabian Hürzeler’s side allowed 2.96 XG and goals from Danny Welbeck and Kaoru Mitoma couldn’t prevent defeat.

Brighton Injuries & Team News

Striker João Pedro is suspended.

Defenders Igor Julio, Ferdi Kadioglu, Joël Veltman, Tariq Lamptey and Adam Webster are out.

Midfielder James Milner, Jason Steele and Georginio Rutter are also sidelined with injuries.

West Ham Form

Graham Potter’s West Ham are 15th points above the Premier League’s bottom three. They will officially avoid relegation with a point against Brighton.

West Ham haven’t won in their past six league games, losing and drawing three. The Hammers' most recent defeat was a 2-1 loss at Liverpool.

Potters’ team drew at home against the Premier League’s bottom side, Southampton, on Saturday. Jarrod Bowen struck early in the second half before West Ham conceded in the 92nd minute.

West Ham Injuries & Team News

Striker Evan Ferguson is unable to play against his parent club.

Forward duo Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville are unavailable through injury.

Verdict

Brighton v West Ham

Brighton are missing several key defensive players and are suffering at the back. West Ham are also poor defensively and goals can come at both ends here.
