Fans looking for a betting bonus for the fixture are in the perfect place. Our betting experts have studied the stats of the two sides and put together their predictions for the game.

Brighton are enjoying their best ever start to a top flight season and sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table. Their form is all the more impressive when you factor in the Summer sales at the Amex. Star players such as Robert Sanchez, Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caciedo have all departed, but Roberto de Zerbi’s squad have not missed a beat.

The form of Karou Mitoma has been a key reason for the Seagulls’ fantastic form. The winger’s superb solo goal at Wolves last week was part of yet another superb individual display. It seems likely that Mitoma is bound for a big money move, but until he departs, the Japanese star will be pivotal to Brighton’s success.

It’s a huge season for West Ham. Combining a Europa League campaign with a Premier League season will be a tough ask for a relatively small squad. Especially given the departure of star midfielder Declan Rice.

That being said, the early signs are fairly encouraging for David Moyes’ men. Last weekend’s entertaining 2-2 draw with Chelsea showed that there is life after Rice and the Hammers will be in a buoyant mood for their trip to the South Coast.

West Ham have never beaten Brighton in the Premier League. The 12 encounters between the teams have produced six draws and six Brighton victories. In fact, West Ham have not beaten their rivals in any competition since 2012. The Seagulls also hold a slender 21-18 advantage in the overall head-to-head record between the teams.

The statistical highlights for this game assess the recent form of the two sides. Before you assess the sports betting odds for the fixture, make sure you check out these important stats.

The football betting odds for the game have Brighton as 11/20 favourites to claim all three points. The Hammers can be backed at 5/1, whilst most sports betting apps have the draw at around 15/4.

Yes, Brighton look very impressive, but it is worth considering the opposition they have faced. Wolves and Luton are both likely to be battling relegation, so this represents the Seagulls’ toughest challenge by far. As such, we think the home side are far too short for the win.

West Ham have played well in their two games so far and will fancy their chances of success on Saturday. Whilst we can’t quite bring ourselves to back them at 5/1, we really like the look of the draw at 15/4.
