Premier League, played Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024
Here is our West Ham v Brighton tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a West Ham home win. Our confidence in this tip was high relative to other tips.
West Ham grabbed a third league win on the trot in the Premier League on Thursday night when they inflicted a 2-0 win away from home upon London rivals, Arsenal, while Brighton registered a 4-2 home win against the other north London outfit, Tottenham, on Thursday night at their AMEX Stadium.
Previous wins against Wolves and Manchester United both at their London Stadium along with the aforementioned victory over Arsenal, have helped West Ham up into sixth place and just three points adrift of the top five pack ahead of this Tuesday night's clash with Brighton.
David Moyes' side had also collected important previous wins against Nottingham Forest and Burnley while results overall on home soil at their London Stadium have been pretty consistent as The Hammers have lost just twice in their nine home games to date this term.
The two defeats were to Manchester City and a resurgent Everton but having recorded five wins within their nine home games so far this season, West Ham look to stand a decent chance of continuing their winning momentum here on Tuesday night, especially as the hosts have lost just twice in their previous 11 home games in the Premier League.
Brighton returned to winning ways in the English top flight on Thursday night as they registered a 4-2 home win against Tottenham but that victory was only Brighton's third within their previous 13 matches in the Premier League which has resulted with the south coast club remaining in eighth place in the table.
Previous victories over Nottingham Forest and Brentford have been offset by four defeats against Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, so Roberto de Zerbi's side have no guarantees of success here in the nation's capital on Tuesday night, especially as The Seagulls have managed to capture just one win from their last seven outings on the road.
The south coast club had earlier posted back-to-back wins on the road at Wolves and Manchester United but subsequent results have taken a nose-dive where Brighton have been concerned and the visitors look to have their work cut out ahead of this upcoming trip to the London Stadium.
West Ham v Brighton Verdict
West Ham have seemingly turned a corner following a previously worrying period which saw The Hammers suffer three defeats on the trot from towards the end of October through to early November as they slipped to losses against Aston Villa, Everton and Brentford respectively, as the hosts have built up an impressive head of steam in recent weeks.
Indeed, six wins out of their last eight games in the Premier League suggest West Ham are the more likely to capture another important three points here on Tuesday night.
Therefore, our main bet will be West Ham win @ 2.45
Other side bets worth considering:
West Ham win & Over 2.5 goals @ 3.4
Correct Score: West Ham 3-1 @ 19.00
