My Prediction
Brighton & Hove Albion by 1Considering the veritable mountain of data at hand, let's tuck into this upcoming Premier League clash – a bout of David and Goliath proportions, Brighton & Hove Albion verus West Ham.
Between the woodwork, we find Bart Verbruggen for Brighton who's managed to whip up 8 saves with a 6.66 rating this season. Meanwhile, West Ham's Łukasz Fabiański has been handed a higher grade of 7.08 with an impressive haul of 19 saves. Counting my fingers and toes, that seems to put Fabiański in the lead, folks.
On the field, Brighton display their strength in João Pedro and Pervis Estupiñán whose passing game has been pretty commendable. Not forgetting Kaoru Mitoma, who's bagged a couple of goals alongside his impressive 89.5% accurate pass rate. Over in the other camp, West Ham boast notable players including Jarrod Bowen, a striker with an uncanny ability to find the back of the net and a passing accuracy of 83.5%. His comrade-in-arms, Tomáš Souček has impressed with a couple dingers of his own.
Looking in the rearview mirror, recent matchups between these two teams have certainly made for an exciting highlight reel, with scores of Brighton & Hove Albion 1 vs West Ham 3 and Brighton & Hove Albion 4 vs West Ham 0. These historical squabbles tickle the scales in favor of Brighton. However, from a bird's eye view, this season's performance puts Brighton at a record of 6-6-4, while West Ham is resting at a less impressive 5-4-7.
Bearing in mind the recent events, Brighton's had a slew of mixed results while West Ham’s run of form resembles my golf game - wildly inconsistent with more downs than ups.
Now for the money shot, my prediction? Drawing from my uncanny ability to make wild, largely unfounded predictions, and our implied spread and payout data, we arrive at —
