Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United Prediction and Betting Tips | March 4th 2023
Brighton & Hove Albion will host West Ham United at the AMEX on Saturday in another round of the Premier League campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid campaign and are now pushing for their first-ever taste of European football. They were beaten 1-0 by Fulham in their last league game and will feel gutted to have come away with nothing after creating multiple chances to get on the scoresheet. They were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Brighton sit eighth in the league table with 35 points from 22 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways in the league when they play this weekend.
West Ham, meanwhile, have struggled to come alive this season and now find themselves just outside the drop zone. They returned to winning ways in the league last weekend with a 4-0 trouncing of Nottingham Forest before losing 3-1 to high-flying Manchester United in the last 16 of the FA Cup on Thursday.
