Michael Owen makes bold West Ham prediction against lowly Brighton

Brighton have struggled to gain the points their performances have perhaps deserved this season.

Graham Potter's men are 17th in the League table but will travel to David Moyes' impressive West Ham team with confidence.

Perhaps surprisingly, the Hammers have failed to beat Brighton in the Premier League, losing three and drawing three of their six previous meetings with the Seagulls in the top flight.

Brighton have also performed better on their travels this season, picking up eight of their 12 points away from the Amex.

Owen however expects West Ham to continue their decent form this season and triumph 2-1 against the Albion.

"West Ham suffered a 3-0 defeat away at Stamford Bridge last Monday night," wrote Owen in his Betvictor predictions blog"The result probably flattered Chelsea a bit as the Hammers were well in the game until the late second goal.

"Brighton’s draw at home to Sheffield United must have been a disappointment for Seagulls fans.

"This has happened so often this season, and despite looking good on the eye at times, they now languish in 17th position.

"I’ve seen enough of West Ham to think they’ll have enough to beat a Brighton side that could find themselves in trouble if they don’t start winning matches soon."
