A ‘Both teams to score’ wager has also been successful in Brighton’s last 8 matches against West Ham. This is a likely scenario because in last year’s Premier League, Barrington managed to score one goal in all three clashes with the same number of teams. Hammers head into the match as the defending champions of the previous contest between the two as they come off a 3-1 over Brighton.

West Ham 

West Ham United initially struggled in the tournament having lost to Arsenal and Leicester in their first two matches 2-5 and 1-3 respectively. Remarkably, in their next two Premier League matches, West Ham not only managed to go unbeaten but reversed their losing streak. They managed to grab victories against Wolverhampton, at their home grounds, by a score of 2-1 while also obtaining a draw against Bournemouth 1-1 where they balanced the match in extra time.

From the relegation zone, West Ham is riding comfortably at 14th position, with a 7-point difference from the drop zone, establishing a reasonable foothold for themselves. However, it can be troubling for them that while they are able to compete well with bottom half clubs, their record against upper half clubs is notably worse.

Brighton

Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton on the other had have not been so fortunate, as they suffered their second winless streak this season within 4 consecutive Premier League matches, making things tough for them. Brighton have again only managed a 1-1 draw against Southampton while previously losing 1-3 against Fulham and Crystal Palace during their last game, snapping a 7 match unbeaten streak for them at home.

Brighton’s position has however not seen a dramatic change, i.e., Brighton sits at 9th which is just 4 points away from the Champions league position. But I think it goes without saying that Brighton can occupy the fourth position, only if they are consistent in their performances. In the other month reports tell Brighton drew matches against the bottom placed Leicester and Southampton.

Prediction

Most bookies regard the contest as too close to call, but favor Brighton just slightly. Both teams will be looking to make the most out their offensive potential in addition to exposing the fragilities of the opposing defense, which should result in a lot of goals being scored. We think the most likely provision is "More than 2.5 total goals" with odds of 1.57.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.57.
