West Ham vs. Brighton*

England’s Premier League, one of Europe's finest leagues, will see a game between two sides that may not be amongst the favourites to win, but that have been recently surprising teams. Brighton will go on the road to face West Ham in search of a good result at the capital city. We see the away team better for this game, so we recommend an away win or draw bet.

After two games, Brighton still remains unbeaten. Losing star players like Marc Cucurella and Yves Bissouma do not seem to have harmed the Seagulls, who finished 9th last season (their historic best at the top division) and want to continue down the same road in 22-23. An amazing victory in the opener against Manchester United by 2-1 and a goal less draw on the road versus Newcastle has them with four points.

Now they will play against the Hammers, a side they have not lost to in their last ten matches, with four wins and six draws. Last time they met was in the final round of last season’s Premier League, when they overcame a 0-1 start to win by 3-1 and force their rivals out of the Europa League and into the Conference League qualification spot.

On the other hand, West Ham has not had the start they expected in the league. Losing in their opener against Manchester City was no surprise, but failing to win in round 2 against promoted Nottingham Forest really was. In short, they are pointless and goalless in two rounds and need a change of image as soon as possible if they want to repeat a top seven finish like last season.

英格兰超级联赛，欧洲最好的联赛之一，将会看到两支球队之间的比赛，他们可能不是夺冠的热门球队，但最近却令人惊讶。布莱顿将在客场对阵西汉姆联，希望在首都取得一个好成绩。我们认为客场的球队在这场比赛中表现更好，所以我们建议客场赢或者平局。

两场比赛后，布莱顿仍然保持不败。失去像马克·库库雷拉和伊夫·比苏玛这样的明星球员似乎并没有对海鸥队造成伤害，他们上赛季排名第9(他们在顶级联赛的历史最好成绩)，并希望在22-23赛季继续走这条路。他们在揭幕战中以2比1战胜曼联，在客场对阵纽卡斯尔的比赛中以一球之差战平，这让他们积4分。

现在他们将对阵铁锤帮，他们在过去的10场比赛中没有输给过这支球队，4胜6平。他们上一次相遇是在上赛季英超的最后一轮，当时他们战胜了0-1的开局，以3-1的优势击败了对手，迫使他们退出欧联杯，进入了欧洲联赛的资格名额。

另一方面，西汉姆联并没有在联赛中获得他们所期望的开局。在首场比赛中输给曼城并不令人意外，但在第二轮对阵升班诺丁汉森林的比赛中失利却着实令人意外。简而言之，他们在两轮中毫无意义和目标，如果他们想重复上赛季的前七名，就需要尽快改变形象。
