1×2 Predictions
The 1×2 market prediction for Brighton vs West Ham is for the home side to come out on top.
The Seagulls have won both of their matches so far this season 4-1. They have plenty of options in attack and Roberto De Zerbi has rotated them to great effect. Kaoru Mitoma has picked up where he left off last season. Solly March has also caught the eye. Julio Enciso and Joao Pedro have both started one match each, while Danny Welbeck has led the line while Even Ferguson returns to full fitness.
Brighton beat West Ham both times they played last season. The match at the Amex Arena ended 4-0. In their last 10 league matches, De Zerbi’s team are averaging 2.5 goals per game so I’m expecting them to score a couple here.
We can back Brighton to win on Betking at 11/20.
Draw No Bet Predictions
Despite enjoying some good Premier League campaigns prior to last season, West Ham haven’t beaten Brighton in the last 12 meetings.
Brighton are available at 11/50 on the draw no bet market with Betking.
BTTS Predictions
West Ham performed extremely well in their last match. They were reduced to 10 men when Nayef Aguerd was sent off in the 67th minute but they managed to hold on for the win. The Hammers even managed to extend their lead thanks to an injury-time spot-kick from Lucas Paqueta.
The Hammers have scored in both of their league matches so far and will be keen to put in a more spirited display than the one we saw at this ground last season. David Moyes’ side are averaging 1.4 goals per game in their last 10 competitive fixtures.
Brighton are a vibrant attacking side but they have looked vulnerable at the back at times. De Zerbi’s team have conceded in their last six Premier League matches.
GG (both teams to score) is priced at 57/100 on Betking.
Our Analysis of the Brighton vs West Ham United Match
Brighton earned many plaudits for the way they played last season, including from Pep Guardiola. Roberto De Zerbi has ensured that his side continues in the same vein this season. They have lost the likes of MacAllister and Caicedo but it seems to have had little impact on performances.
The Seagulls are calm in possession and adept at inviting the opposition to press them before taking advantage of the space left by the onrushing midfield. They have a number of technically gifted players but West Ham will be keen to make this a physical showdown.
The Hammers have quality of their own. Jarrod Bowen has proven himself as one of the brightest attackers in the league. Lucas Paqueta also remains at the club after his move to Manchester City fell through.
David Moyes will be expecting his players to take the game to Brighton as they strive for another morale-boosting victory.
Top Scorers Predictions for Brighton vs West Ham United
The pick for top scorer in Brighton vs West ham is Solly March. The Englishman has started Brighton’s two matches so far and been a real goal threat. He has scored in both and has three goals to his name at this stage.
He is priced at a very generous 14/5 to score on Betking.
Brighton’s free-flowing attacking to do the damage
Brighton are expertly run and their ability to identify players that fit their system is second to none. In Roberto De Zerbi, they have the perfect man to knit it all together. The football is memorising at times.
The Seagulls have a fantastic record against West Ham and their performances in the early matches of the season will have done nothing to dampen their confidence ahead of this clash.
