Double Chance
Brighton W or Draw
78%
Confidence

Brighton’s better home scoring record and West Ham’s poor away form give the home side a clear edge, but West Ham have shown they can still find the net. The balanced head‑to‑head and high BTTS percentage support a double‑chance on Brighton to avoid defeat. The average of 3.2 goals in past meetings and the league’s 3.26‑goal average make an over‑2.5 total plausible.
