Brighton, on the other hand, were defeated 3-1 by Crystal Palace, which was their second defeat in three league games and saw them drop to ninth place on the table.

West Ham vs. Brighton Prediction

The Hammers have been highly inconsistent this season, as have Brighton. With both teams being in erratic form, this game could be an even contest, with spoils being shared in a scrappy draw.
