Brighton host West Ham United on Sunday afternoon at the Amex Stadium, and this one feels like it could go either way. Brighton are looking to bounce back from a defeat, while West Ham are trying to remember what a league win feels like. Here’s our Brighton vs West Ham prediction to give you a better idea of which way this could go.
Brighton took a real blow when young striker Stefanos Tzimas went down with a knee injury against Aston Villa. Tough moment for the kid, and it sounds like he’s set for a stretch on the sidelines. That should open the door for Danny Welbeck, who actually loves playing against West Ham. Six Premier League goals against them says enough.
Yasin Ayari looks close to returning, which helps, but the list of concerns doesn’t exactly shrink. Kaoru Mitoma, Georginio Rutter and Tommy Watson are all doubtful. Then you’ve got definite absentees: James Milner, Solly March and Adam Webster. Brighton’s attack is firing, but the squad is being stretched.
West Ham get Lucas Paqueta back after his one-game suspension, which should boost their creativity. Tomas Soucek could be pushed back to the bench. But on the flip side, Igor Julio can’t play against his parent club, and Crysencio Summerville remains a doubt. Lukasz Fabianski and Oliver Scarles are still sidelined. At least Callum Wilson brings good memories into this fixture — eight goal contributions against Brighton in the league is no small thing.

You can almost guarantee drama when Brighton play at home. They’d been unbeaten for a good spell before that Villa chaos, and even in that loss they still managed to score three. The issue? They were too generous at the other end. That’s becoming a trend they’ll want to calm down.
Brighton have also been stacking goals at the Amex — at least two in their last six home league games. That second-half surge of theirs is becoming a real thing too, with most of their goals this season coming after the break.
West Ham, meanwhile, nicked a late draw at Old Trafford thanks to Soungoutou Magassa’s first Premier League goal. Not bad, but the bigger picture is rougher: three league games without a win and stuck in the relegation zone. And this isn’t a fixture that usually treats them well. Brighton have put 31 Premier League goals past them, more than against any other side.
Funny enough, Nuno Espírito Santo has battered a Hurzeler team before — that 7-0 with Forest won’t be forgotten anytime soon, and West Ham’s only league win over Brighton came here not too long ago. So you never fully write it off.
You’re looking at two teams who can score and concede, and neither looks comfortable shutting a game down. Brighton at home usually means goals, energy, and a bit of chaos. West Ham tend to crumble against them but can still create enough to nick one.
So you’d lean toward both teams finding the net, Brighton edging control with stronger attacking rhythm, and Welbeck being a genuine threat.
The flow of the matchup points toward a home win with goals on both sides.
The extra day of rest helps. The home form helps. And West Ham’s history in this fixture really doesn’t. Expect them to fight it out, but Brighton’s firepower usually shows up in these moments
Match Prediction: Brighton to win. Bet with bet365.
A tight Brighton win feels right.
2-1 fits well with how both teams have been playing and the way Brighton turn up at the Amex.
For other score bets, consider 3-1 Brighton as a longer shot, especially if their attack gets moving early and West Ham are forced to chase the game.
Correct Score Prediction: Brighton 2-1 West Ham. Bet with bet365.
Expect goals again.
Over 2.5 goals makes sense with these two — Brighton’s home scoring streak and West Ham’s defensive slips point toward another lively afternoon.
Under 2.5? You’d need a big shift in how they usually play, and there’s nothing in recent performances hinting at that.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
A simple bet builder combo could be:
Nothing too fancy, just playing into the patterns both sides show every week.
Bet Builder Tip: Brighton to win, both teams to score, and Danny Welbeck to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
