Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 Mar 4, 2023, Amex Stadium
Brighton & Hove Albion continue their push for a place in Europe next season as they host West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday.
Sitting just six points off the top five, Brighton remain in the mix for a European finish. They head into Saturday’s clash with just one defeat in their last nine matches across all competitions, claiming six wins in that run.
The one defeat in that fine run came last time out in the Premier League as they were beaten 1-0 at home by Fulham. They made a swift return to winning ways on Tuesday, picking up a 1-0 win at Stoke City in an FA Cup fifth round clash.
The defeat to Fulham will be disappointing to manager Roberto De Zerbi as Brighton had maintained a solid record at the Amex Stadium lately. They claimed three straight wins prior to the clash with Fulham, a run that includes a 3-0 victory over Liverpool.
West Ham are attempting to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three as they look to turn their campaign around. They have suffered just one defeat in their last five Premier League matches but remain just two points above the relegation zone.
The Hammers will be looking to build on the 4-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in their previous Premier League fixture. Danny Ings netted a brace while Declan Rice and Michail Antonio were also on target.
One problem that still persists for West Ham is their poor record on the road. David Moyes’ men have only won once on their travels this season and were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in their previous away fixture.
