    Seagulls and Irons set for entertaining draw

    On Saturday afternoon, Brighton host West Ham at the AMEX Stadium, as the Seagulls look to move away from the relegation zone.

    Brighton made a steady start to life in the Premier League. However, a recent dip in form has led the team from the south coast to drop down the table to 15th place, just one point above the drop zone.

    A record of one win in their last 14 top-flight outings has been a major contributing factor. Another worry for the Seagulls is that they are the joint-lowest scorers in the top-flight with just 18 league goals this season.

    Last time out, Chris Hughton’s side drew 1-1 at south coast rivals Southampton, which was a drawn that helped neither team’s league position.

    The Seagulls home form in the Premier League has been poor, as they have won just one of their last nine outings in the English top-flight. However, they have also lost just two of their last 11 home games in the Premier League.

    West Ham are currently 12th place in the Premier League but are just four points clear of the relegation zone.

    The injury-ravaged Irons head into this game on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in the top-flight, though. However, four of those six unbeaten games have finished in draws, including three of their last four league games.

    It is interesting to note that both teams have scored in West Ham's last seven league games.

    David Moyes side are now unbeaten in four Premier League games on their travels, winning two and drawing two of their last four outings on the road.

    However, the Hammers have won just two of their last 13 away games in the league. They are also missing some key players in the likes of Manuel Lanzini and Marko Arnautovic, among others.

    Forebet predicts that this clash will finish in a high scoring draw and keep both sides in the battle for survival this season.
