Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

Graham Potter's return to the Amex Stadium with West Ham United marks a crucial juncture in his managerial career. Having built a strong reputation at Brighton and Hove Albion with commendable performances, Potter's move to Chelsea was seen as a step up. Yet, his stint at Stamford Bridge was cut short, failing to see out a full season amid tough circumstances.

After taking a break from management, Potter took the reins at West Ham in January following Julen Lopetegui’s departure. However, his tenure has been rocky, with the team struggling to find form. A disappointing 1-1 draw against already-relegated Southampton last week has left West Ham perilously close to the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Brighton have flourished since Potter’s exit. Under Roberto De Zerbi, they secured European qualification, and now Fabian Hurzeler, at just 31 years old, is tasked with maintaining their progress. Despite a recent slump, including a 4-2 loss to Brentford, Hurzeler is focused on keeping Brighton in the hunt for European spots.

As Potter faces his former side, both managers are under pressure to deliver. Hurzeler aims to end Brighton's winless run and bolster their European aspirations, while Potter is determined to turn West Ham's fortunes around and prove his mettle against familiar adversaries.
