I think in the upcoming match West Ham has a chance to get three points. Moyes' team has an excellent form, plays at home and has no serious problems with the squad. Brighton is a strong and played team, but recently the Seagulls have often lost points. Although in the last round Brighton managed to inflict a defeat on Tottenham. So West Ham is waiting for a tough game.

In four meetings, Brighton was more dominant head to head with 3 wins and 1 defeat which occurred at the last meeting, 26 August 2023, match 3 or the first half of the season.
I don't think it's very encouraging to use head to head statistics for their second match in the second half of the season because West Ham has recently shown a promising game by beating Manchester United and Arsenal.

On the other hand, I also have doubts that West Ham will appear dominant at home to achieve their third win in a row against Brighton.
Judging by the strength of Roberto De Zerbi's team, my gut feeling is more certain that the most likely result in my opinion is a draw.
The reason is, both teams have shortcomings. Mitoma injury. Meanwhile, Lucas Paqueta, who has been an influential player in the West Ham team, also suffered an injury when they beat Arsenal and had to be replaced in the 33rd minute.

The best possibility for this match is a draw. But I think West Ham has a bigger chance of winning if they maintain their mentality and performance in their last two matches when they beat Arsenal and Man United.
Brighton is not a weak team, but I believe West Ham will have several advantages in the match.
