• Brighton have lost just once at home all season

• West Ham picked up an unexpected point against Manchester United on Thursday

• Recommended bet: Brighton to win and both teams to score

Brighton's 4-3 loss at home to Aston Villa on Wednesday was their first at the Amex in all competitions this season.

The Seagulls started the weekend in seventh place and Fabian Hurzeler will be looking to improve on their eighth-placed finish from last season.

West Ham scored late against Manchester United at Old Trafford to snatch an unlikely point on Thursday.

Despite that, the Irons remain in the relegation zone and have a poor record at the Amex.

Team news

Brighton will be without Greek striker Stefanos Tzimas, who suffered a serious knee injury against Aston Villa and faces a signifcant spell on the sidelines.

James Milner, Solly March and Adam Webster are also missing for the West Ham clash, while Kaoru Mitoma, Georgina Rutter and Tommy Watson are doubts.

Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed Lucas Paqueta will start after returning from suspension.

Elsewhere, Lukasz Fabianski and Oliver Scarles will not be available for West Ham this weekend and it remains to be seen when the duo will return to the squad.

The stats

Brighton have enjoyed the better of this head-to-head since being promoted in 2017.

Indeed, across 16 matches, the Seagulls have won seven times, with the Irons securing just a single victory in that spell.

Remarkably, 50% of those matches have finished as draws, while Brighton won four out of six points from the two clashes last season.

Both teams scored in those games, with Brighton winning 3-2 at home and 11 of the last 16 matchups has seen both teams scoring.

Six of Brighton's previous 10 matches have featured both teams scoring, with the club winning three of those.

For West Ham, seven of their last 10 games has seen both teams scoring, although they have managed to win just two of those ties, against Newcastle and Burnley.

Danny Welbeck and Diego Gomez lead the scoring charts for the home side, netting seven goals each.

Only four players have scored more than once for West Ham this term.

Prediction

Brighton looked to be well on their way to victory against Villa last time out, but ultimately suffered a 4-3 defeat.

This should motivate the club to get back to winning ways, especially at the Amex.

Nuno's side will be galvanised by sealing a point against United but while they will be tricky opponents, the home team should have too much in the end.
