Brighton v West Ham Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Friday 05^th September 2018 (Kick-off 8 PM)

On Friday night, struggling Brighton welcome resurgent West Ham to the Amex Stadium in the Premier League.

Brighton heads into this clash on a run of five games without a Premier League win. Meanwhile, West Ham have won three of their last four games in all competitions.

Brighton have really struggled for victories of late in the top-flight. In fact, the Seagulls have won just one of their last nine top-flight games dating back to last season.

One of the biggest factors in Brighton’s poor results in the top-flight has been poor defensive displays, as the Seagulls have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine outings in the Premier League.

Top Football Bookmakers

West Ham’s form has turned around in recent games, as the Hammers have now taken seven points from their last three league outings. Last time out Manuel Pellegrini recorded a 3-1 home win over Manchester United.

The Irons recent away record is a slight negative, though, as the Londoners have won just two of their last nine games on their travels in the top-flight, losing seven times in the process.

The Hammers recent away games in the top-flight have been entertaining affairs, though, with over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last ten matches.

Prediction

Away win and/or over 2.5 goals
