Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Brighton and West Ham United.
The the previous two games of the 2023/24 campaign, the Seagulls have recorded two victories, while the Hammers played one draw and celebrated a win in another one.
The two teams will be determined to have a successful clash when they play against each other on Saturday, August 26, 2023. Ahead of the game, Merson shared his thoughts on the possible outcome, backing Roberto de Zerbi's side to be the winners.
"West Ham will make it difficult for Brighton, and Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio can hurt them on the counter," the pundit said on Sportskeeda.
"I'm going to go with a Brighton win, but it won't come as a big shock if West Ham get a result here."
