The "Hamsters" from London are in a much better form before this clash with Brighton, which on the other hand can boast with victories in their last two championship matches with West Ham.

Brighton

So the popular “Seagulls” from Brighton have in February this year celebrated with 3-1 over West Ham team, so they hope that something similar could happen on Friday night. However, their current form is not particularly promising, since they have recorded four defeats and two draws in the last six appearances, while their only victory in this season was achieved in the second round of the Premiership when they celebrated at home with 3-2 over Manchester United.

That is why it is no surprise that Brighton is currently only three places above the relegation zone, with three points over 18th Newcastle, and they were recently eliminated from the League Cup by Southampton. But what we can also notice this season in all their domestic Premier League appearances is that they were able to score a goal, so they will probably be quite offensive now against the “Hammers”, even though they still cannot count on the injured midfielders Stephens and Gross.

Probable lineups Brighton: Ryan – Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong – Propper – Knockaert, Kayal, Bissouma, March – Murray

West Ham

When it comes to the guests from London, they opened this season with four consecutive defeats, but then in the next three rounds they played much better and won seven points in these games. Namely, coach Pellegrini has first celebrated with 3-1 against Everton, they played 0-0 against Chelsea, and they achieved a big triumph of 3-1 over Manchester United last weekend.

And when we add that they in the meantime, over Wimbledon and Macclesfield, routinely won placement in the fourth round of the League Cup, then it is quite clear that the mood in the team of West Ham is on the highest level possible. That is why we are confident that they will now against Brighton play for all or nothing, probably with the same 11 players as in their duel with United, because center-back Ried, midfielders Wilshere, Lanzini and Sanchez and strikers Carroll and Chicharito are all out of action due to injuries.

Probable lineups West Ham: Fabianski – Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Masuaku – Rice – Yarmolenko, Noble, Obiang, Anderson – Arnautovic

Verdict:

Even though the guests from London are currently in a much better form, we also have to know that the team of Brighton has managed to score in all their home matches this season, so we expect them to now provide a strong resistance to the popular “Hammers”.

Pick: both teams to score 1.85 - 85/100 @1XBet
