Despite this, their attacking prowess remains evident, averaging 1.8 goals in their last five games and boasting 2.17 expected goals. However, Brighton's defense has been porous, conceding an average of 1.4 goals per game and failing to secure a clean sheet in their recent matches.

Their goal-scoring form is less prolific, with an average of 0.8 goals in the last five encounters.

Final Prediction

Brighton is poised to capitalize on West Ham's vulnerabilities, with their superior attacking metrics providing a clear edge. The Seagulls' ability to create goal-scoring opportunities against a West Ham side that has struggled both defensively and offensively could be the decisive factor. Keep an eye on Brighton's attacking flair as they aim to break their winless streak and secure all three points.
