Brighton v West Ham

Brighton vs West Ham Preview

The evening kick-off on Saturday in the Premier League features this upcoming clash between Brighton and West Ham at the AMEX Stadium with both teams currently occupying places in the top seven of the English top flight table and both heading into this clash on the back of comprehensive wins.

Brighton picked up a second win on the trot last Saturday with a resounding 4-1 victory away from home against Wolves at Molineux and The Seagulls will be in confident mood when they return to the AMEX Stadium having now won two games on the trot in the early stages of this season's Premier League campaign.

The south coast club had begun their new domestic top flight season with a comprehensive 4-1 victory on home soil over newly promoted Luton Town so not only have the hosts won back-to-back matches but there have also been a total of 10 goals scored overall.

Indeed, goals look likely to feature again on Saturday evening as no fewer than eight of Brighton's last 10 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

West Ham also recorded a comprehensive victory in last weekend's Premier League action as The Hammers registered a 3-1 home win against London rivals, Chelsea, at the London Stadium and this result will also give David Moyes' side plenty of confidence as they make their way down to the south coast.

Two wins towards the end of last season helped West Ham avoid any last-minute relegation dramas following wins against Manchester United and Leeds United while goals have also featured when West Ham have been involved as seven of their last 10 matches overall have also produced three goals or more.

West Ham will be hoping they can get amongst the goals at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the visitors look to improve their fortunes on the road after managing to collect just two wins from their last 18 outings on the road in the Premier League.

Five of West Ham's last 10 away games in the top flight have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals, so this gives the goals market a decent chance of achieving the Over 2.5 goals threshold here.

Brighton v West Ham Verdict

Brighton have held the upper hand over West Ham in recent exchanges as The Seagulls have won each of the last three meetings on the trot against their visitors but goals have also figured in these previous encounters as two of the last three games between these two sides have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Following their landslide win against Chelsea last Sunday, West Ham may just fancy their chances of springing a surprise down on the south coast on Saturday evening.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50

Other side bets worth considering:

West Ham win @ 5.25

Correct score: West Ham 2-1 @ 19.00
