Brighton v West Ham result predicted by supercomputer
West Ham United will want to avoid further embarrassment when they face Brighton on Saturday.
Graham Potter and Co. will look to bounce back from their demoralising 1-1 draw against Southampton when they visit the Amex Stadium on 26 April.
West Ham are winless in six consecutive games in the Premier League and risk being stuck at 17th place in the table if they fail to claim points against Brighton.
The trip will also be significant to Potter, as he returns to his former club for the first time as the Hammers’ head coach.
West Ham chances of win v Brighton
There are a few big games in the Premier League this weekend, with Everton, Manchester United and Tottenham travelling to Chelsea, Bournemouth and Liverpool, respectively.
This means West Ham could go as high as 13th place in the Premier League if they claim all three points against Potter’s former side.
That is why the East London outfit must be at their best when they travel to the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
However, West Ham face an uphill task to beat the 10th-placed side, with Opta‘s supercomputer rating the hosts as 55 per cent favourites to claim the victory.
| Team | Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses | PTS |
| Brighton | 33 | 12 | 12 | 9 | 48 |
| West Ham | 33 | 9 | 9 | 15 | 36 |
There is a 22 per cent chance that both teams share the spoils, while the Hammers have been given a 21 per cent of walking out as the winners.
Therefore, West Ham are the clear underdogs going into their game against Brighton this weekend, and it now remains to be seen if they can cause an upset.
Potter to ring changes at Amex
Potter will have been disappointed by the manner in which West Ham were held to a draw by an already-relegated Southampton last weekend.
Therefore, the English tactician is likely to make at least a few changes to his starting line-up to face Brighton.
For starters, he is likely to switch to a five-man defence, as he has so often done in away games recently.
Niclas Fullkrug could be one of the casualties of this change, although his angry rant in the wake of the result against the Saints resonated with the fans quite well.
