These teams have met plenty of times over the past couple of years. Brighton hold the edge in the last five games, winning three, losing one and drawing one.
West Ham United
West Ham got destroyed by Manchester City in their opening game, A score of 5-0 was the final, sending West Ham to the bottom of the league after one week. They will get Brighton now but will play this game on the road. A draw would be a good result considering how bad they played against Man City.

There is not much to talk about given their attack got nothing done against Man City. They had five shots in the entire game with only three on target. They had 43% possession as well so really it was a bad day all around. Scoring has to be the biggest priority for West Ham. Even though it is week two, they cannot afford to get shut out again.
The defense was horrendous for West Ham and that is being nice. I know it is Man City, but five goals can not happen. It also would have been six if not for VAR overturning one of Man City goals. They allowed three goals alone to Raheem Sterling and now must find a way to lock down a Brighton team that surprised everyone last week. Even if they make some adjustments, I still think West Ham could give up at least two goals.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Probably the most surprising performance last week came from this Brighton side. They dominated Watford and won by a score of 3-0. Now they return home where the crowd is sure to be rocking.

The attack for Brighton was on point in their game against Watford. Florin Andone and Neal Maupay both found the back of the net in the second half to easily put this game away. The home fans will be looking for a similar result this week as well. The good news is Brighton will play a horrid West Ham defense, so I do believe they will score at least twice here.
It took three saves from the goalie, but Brighton was able to keep a clean sheet. They did allow eleven shots, but just three were on target. An effort like this is surely good enough to get them three points against West Ham.
Free West Ham United vs. Brighton & Hove Albion EPL Prediction:
The home crowd could be a huge motivator for Brighton and therefore I like them to win this game.
