"Lovely": Paul Merson states his prediction for West Ham v Brighton

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming Premier League match between West Ham and Brighton. The two sides are set to face each other on Wednesday evening. The Hammers are currently 4th in the league table seven points behind the leaders Chelsea. Meanwhile, The Seagulls are 9th with 18 points. Both teams will be hoping to have a successful game, though Merson predicts a 1 - 1 draw for them. "West Ham managed to get into the top four but have now lost their last two games. They’ll be disappointed at the moment and will need to win this match. Brighton are a good team that dominates football matches and this will be a hard Premier League game for West Ham," the pundit said on Sportskeeda. "Brighton are getting back to where they were last year in the Premier League, to be honest. They produce lovely football from box to box but they’re missing far too many chances. Both teams have work to do at the moment and a draw is very likely here." Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
