Brighton vs West Ham

Brighton welcome West Ham to the Amex Arena for an English Premier League clash on Saturday, with both teams keen to bounce back from midweek disappointments.

The Seagulls can be pleased with their overall campaign, while their home form has also been solid this season. They should get the better of the Hammers, who are still finding their feet under the new manager.

Brighton News

Brighton head into this clash off the back of a 4-3 home defeat to Aston Villa in their previous Premier League fixture. They raced to an early two-goal lead but were let down by some poor defending.

That result highlights the defensive problems that have plagued Brighton all season, as they are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven home matches. However, Fabian Hurzeler's team have scored in all seven fixtures, with the last six on this run producing over 2.5 goals.

Brighton had claimed two straight wins prior to the defeat to Aston Villa and will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways. They are also unbeaten in six of their last seven home matches, claiming four wins on this run.

West Ham News

West Ham are still attempting to find some traction for their campaign, having picked up just two wins in their last 10 matches. They played out a 1-1 draw at Manchester United last time out in the Premier League.

The Hammers are winless in their last three matches and suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool in their previous fixture. Nuno Espitrito Santo’s team are also winless in seven of their last eight away matches, losing four times on this run.

Like the hosts, West Ham have also struggled to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last 10 matches. However, they have scored in seven of those fixtures, while four of their last six have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Brighton have eight wins while West Ham have been victorious four times, with nine draws in the last 21 matches. The hosts claimed a 3-2 home victory in the last meeting back in April.

Verdict

Brighton v West Ham

Brighton may have lost in midweek, but they look much better than West Ham this season and will be feeling confident ahead of this one. Having won three of their last four home matches, the Seagulls are expected to come out on top.

It is usually an open contest between Brighton and West Ham, and with both teams scoring in three of their last four meetings, a repeat could be considered here. The hosts last six home matches have produced over 2.5 goals, which is likely to be the outcome on Sunday.
