Brighton vs West Ham prediction, H2H and probable line-ups – December 7, 2025
One of the fixtures of the 15th round of the English Premier League will take place this Sunday at the Amex Stadium in Falmer. The local side, Brighton, will host West Ham in a clash that promises plenty of excitement and attacking football. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this encounter with a solid chance of success.
Match preview
Brighton looked impressive in recent matches, but a surprise 3-4 defeat to Aston Villa, despite an early lead, ended their positive run. Nevertheless, the team remains in the hunt for European competition spots and trails the Champions League zone by just two points. Their home form is particularly strong — 10 games out of 11 unbeaten speak for themselves.
At the same time, the defense has shown cracks — this was only the second time this season Brighton conceded more than two goals in a match. Still, their attacking potential remains a key strength: the Seagulls regularly find the net and rarely leave the pitch without scoring, especially at home, where they are tough to stop.
West Ham delivered a quality away performance against Manchester United in the previous round, managing to snatch a draw. That’s now three consecutive Premier League games without a win, but the Londoners continue to show character, particularly against strong opponents. In their last five matches, they’ve suffered just one defeat — to Liverpool, which can also be put down to a difference in class.
Their away games haven’t been easy, but it would be unfair to call them failures: in their last five trips, the team has not lost. However, defense remains a weak spot — 28 goals conceded and not a single clean sheet in their last 11 league fixtures. Despite this, their attack consistently delivers — the Hammers have scored in almost every match.
Probable line-ups
- Brighton: Verbruggen, Dunk, Kadioglu, van Hecke, de Kuyper, Wieffer, Gomez, Baleba, Minteh, Gruda
- West Ham: Areola, Mavropanos, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka, Diouf, Potts, Magassa, Soucek, Bowen, Fernandes, Wilson
Match facts and head-to-head
- Both teams scored in 9 of Brighton’s last 12 Premier League matches.
- West Ham are unbeaten in five consecutive away league matches.
- Both teams found the net in 10 of their last 13 Premier League head-to-heads.
Prediction
Brighton continue to play attacking football, especially at home where they score consistently. However, their defense often lets them down — they concede in most matches. West Ham, despite inconsistent results, almost always manage to get on the scoresheet. Given the form of both teams, the most logical bet is for both sides to score. Take 'Both teams to score' at odds of 1.74.
