Brighton & Hove Albion - West Ham United betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.55 is a solid option. That said, West Ham United may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Brighton & Hove Albion and the 6.50 odds given to The Hammers to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

With an HT/FT win on record from the previous round, The Seagulls’s form seems to be in solid shape. They were deemed the favourites in that game from the get-go, but winning an away game 1:4 is always a satisfying result.

The visiting team are in high spirits after their decisive victory over Chelsea last round. With most online bookies pricing their victory at 2.14, it was hard to feel optimistic going in even though they played at home. However, they displayed incredible form in the second half, which saw them win the bout 3:1.

Brighton have managed to bag 8 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at The American Express Community Stadium are expecting a lot of action this time around.

The hosts’ position as favourites is hard to question after the dominance they displayed last season. They consistently recorded decisive victories in this matchup, so it’s quite likely that they’ll manage to do so again.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.62 at Betsson.
