The current Premier League leaders are back in action on Saturday, as Brighton look to register a third straight win at the start of the new season when they come up against West Ham. The visitors will be in good confidence after landing a first win of the season against Chelsea.
It has been a sensational start to the new season for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, as the Seagulls sit top of the standings. Brighton have scored eight goals in their two matches so far this term, meaning that they lead the early standings on goal difference from Manchester City and Arsenal.
Brighton continued their mesmeric start to the new campaign against Wolves on Saturday, as they recorded a 4-1 win on the road. Three of their goals were scored in the opening ten minutes of the second half, with Solly March scoring twice. It is just the second time in history that Brighton have opened the season with two wins on the bounce in the top-flight. However, they have scored more goals across their opening two matches than in any previous campaign since their spell in the fourth tier in 1999-2000.
West Ham managed to get in the win column for the first time this season in their second match of the season, as they landed a 3-1 home win over Chelsea. The Hammers defended excellently at the London Stadium, and restored their advantage in the second period through Michail Antonio.
West Ham secured maximum points from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of injury time, despite having been reduced to ten men following Nayef Aguerd’s sending off after 67 minutes.
Brighton boasts an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won each of the last three. They are also unbeaten in 12 Premier League clashes between the sides. West Ham’s last win against Brighton came in the Championship in April 2012. This exact fixture was won 4-0 by the Seagulls last term.
Brighton’s record in this fixture is staggering. They are unbeaten across all meetings with the Hammers in the Premier League, and we expect that trend to continue this weekend. We expect the Seagulls to land victory with over 2.5 goals being scored in the match.
