West Ham vs Brighton. Shape of the Teams
The upcoming West Ham vs Brighton match is shaping up to be an exhilarating encounter. Both teams are coming off impressive victories against Arsenal (0-2) and Tottenham (4-2), respectively.
West Ham are in particularly good shape, having won three Premier League games in a row without conceding a single goal.
Brighton’s recent 4-2 triumph over Tottenham was a display of dominance, with the Seagulls leading 4-0 at one stage. Goals from Alejo Véliz and Ben Davies later narrowed the gap, giving the scoreline a more respectable appearance.
Despite dealing with injuries, Brighton, under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, has been playing exceptional soccer and currently ranks fifth in the Premier League for most goals scored.

West Ham vs Brighton Prediction, Odds
- Pick: West Ham to Win
- Odds: +139 (Tonybet)
West Ham’s impressive home run continues to be a highlight of their season.
West Ham have achieved six wins and a draw in their last seven Premier League matches. David Moyes has worked wonders with the team, positioning the Hammers as clear favourites in their upcoming match against Brighton.
Moreover, Brighton’s record of only 11 points from nine away games is among the league’s lower returns.
Both Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen are in top form, contributing significantly to the team’s success. Even with Paquetá sidelined after getting injured in the game against Arsenal, Saïd Benrahma from Algeria has stepped in admirably.
On the defensive front, they have been performing well too, as Kurt Zouma, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Vladimír Coufal have been key performers, reinforcing the team’s solid backline.

While Brighton did secure a win against Tottenham, their recent away form has been less impressive.
Coupled with injuries to several key players, these factors suggest that West Ham is well-positioned to claim a victory against the Seagulls.
West Ham vs Brighton Betting Tip

Both sides have demonstrated a knack for a potent offence. Brighton, known for their aggressive playstyle, frequently launch attacks from both flanks.
João Pedro, the club’s top goalscorer with seven goals, notably netted a brace against Tottenham. In contrast, West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen leads with eleven goals.

At the London Stadium, it’s improbable that West Ham will adopt a defensive approach. Instead, they’re likely to match Brighton’s offensive tactics.
Brighton, known for numerous chances against their opponents, will be eager to capitalize on these opportunities. This setup points to an open and dynamic game, where we anticipate that both teams will manage to score at least once.
