Brighton vs West Ham Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd May 2022
Brighton & Hove Albion will entertain West Ham United at the Falmer Stadium in Premier League action on Sunday.
This will be the last game of the season for the two sides and they'll be hoping to sign off with a win here. The hosts need at least a point from the game to secure a finish in the upper half of the table. The Hammers have secured a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers but a win here could help them qualify for the Europa League at the expense of Manchester United.
The Seagulls are undefeated in their last four league games and played out a 1-1 draw against Leeds United last time around. West Ham held Manchester City to a 2-2 draw last time around, which helped push the title race to the last day of the season.
