West Ham United - Brighton & Hove Albion predictions

West Ham United are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Brighton & Hove Albion. The odds of 2.45 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

Brighton are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.90 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

The 0:2 result of West Ham’s previous outing was quite surprising, to say the least. Playing as visitors against heavily favoured Arsenal , they secured a lead in the first half against a far stronger opponent, catching them by surprise.

Albion are coming on the back of top-notch performance in their recent home game against Tottenham Hotspur in which they won the game 4:2. Better yet, they were in the lead for most of the match, which only makes the victory more decisive.

The last 3 times we saw West Ham play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

Albion’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

West Ham are sitting at 6th at the moment, three places behind European positions. Such a result is not too bad in this stage of the season. They’ll need another 3 points if they want to play European football next season, but the road ahead is long and difficult.

The Hammers already have a victory over Brighton on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Premier League, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Tuesday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
