Brighton
- Brighton have won their last 2 Premier League games (W3, D1, L1).
- Fabian Hurzeler has led the Seagulls into the top five of the Premier League with his bold, high-pressing, possession-based approach since taking charge in June 2024.
- His team can play some outstanding soccer when they click, moving the ball well and pressing high when they lose it, looking to break at pace and score when they win it back in their own half, which is a key factor in our Brighton vs West Ham betting tips.
- Danny Welbeck has been on a hot streak in front of goal with seven league strikes in total, including three in his last five games.
- Joao Pedro has added a creative spark to Brighton’s play with his clever passing and vision in the final third.
West Ham
- West Ham have won only 1 of their 6 away games in the Premier League (D2, L3).
- The Hammers have set up in more compact blocks under their new manager, who has made a pragmatic team play with some transition flair.
- Callum Wilson is their main man up top with four goals in 10 league appearances, but his best performances have seen him get on the scoresheet with three goals in his last five.
- West Ham’s away defence has been vulnerable this season, conceding 10 goals in their six away games to date.
- Jarrod Bowen’s pace and directness remain a big threat on the break and his runs can stretch defences and pull men out of position for quick transitions, making them important to monitor in Brighton vs West Ham betting tips.
