West Ham lost another match and are now caught up in a 5-team group that is looking to grab the European tickets. They will now be hosted by Brighton on Sunday, who might be sitting at the 17th spot but they have already avoided the relegation.

Brighton (8-14-13) are coming off a tough 2-1 loss on the road against Wolves. They actually took the lead in that match when Dunk connected with Gross, but Dunk was also sent off at the start of the second half, paving the way for Wolves win. Brighton have won just one of their last six matches (1-3-2), but did keep 3 clean sheets in that span. They are now sitting at the 17th spot of the Premier League with 37 points, ten points above the relegation zone. They have a 3-6-8 record at home this season, scoring 18 and conceding 19 goals in the process.

That was their 3rd loss in their last 4 matches and things are getting interesting. West Ham are 6th with 58 points, two point behind Liverpool and 6 points behind Chelsea. However, they are 2 points ahead of Tottenham and Everton and 3 points ahead of Arsenal, so anything can happen in the final two matchdays. West Ham have a 8-6-3 record on the road this season, scoring 26 and conceding 23 goals in the process.

The two teams played for a 2-2 draw in London in the reverse fixture, and that was the 4th consecutive (and 5th in the last 6) match between the two sides that had goals from both sides. All 4 previous matches between the two sides were goal-draws. Taking the Over 2.5 Goals here.
