West Ham vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 31/12/2018, 02:46  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

West Ham United are grappling with a growing injury list but they have managed to pull their weight well, though the losses to Burnley and Watford will leave them dented as they head to the new year. The two matches were on paper winnable to West Ham, who have managed to see off trickier matches with comfortable margins and they will be hoping to return to winning ways in this clash. With just six points dropped from a possible 21 in the last seven matches, West Ham United will feel a win here is achievable but Brighton, having come from down to draw Arsenal then beaten Everton in the last two matches, have their tails up as well but will want to improve on their away record, which has seen them pick just two wins this season in the league. West Ham United have managed eight wins in the season, one more than Brighton; four of the eight have come at home and they will be keen on making that five against a side that has not enjoyed much success away from home, with just two wins in the last 23 away league matches. In 10 home matches this season, West Ham United have managed one clean sheet and scored in five. Brighton also have one clean sheet in their last 10 away league matches and scored in five. Brighton go to this clash with three straight wins over West Ham United and none of the last six meetings have produced a draw, as West Ham have won the remaining three. Seven of their 12 meetings in history have produced over 2.5 goals. Brighton have won six, West Ham four; three of West Ham’s wins have come at home.
