The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Brighton & Hove Albion find themselves in 16th position and West Bromwich Albion are placed 17th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
Two Premier League home games so far for Brighton & Hove Albion, who are yet to win here at The American Express Community Stadium. Only 0 points so far. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Brighton, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Brighton & Hove Albion drew their last game, 1-1 away at Crystal Palace (placed 14th). Prior to that, an away loss at Everton.
The hometeam coach G. Potter made a successful contribution in the game against Crystal Palace, bringing on Alexis Mac Allister who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Brighton matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, two draws and zero defeats (from three games).
At The American Express Community Stadium, Brighton & Hove Albion has the goal stats of 3-6 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats
No Premier League points yet away for West Bromwich Albion, from their first 2 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in WBA's last three away games as they have all been lost.
West Bromwich Albion aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 243 league minutes without a goal. K. Bartley was the last player to find the net.
There were no winners in WBA's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 0-0 vs Burnley (placed 18th). A 0-2 defeat away at Southampton before that.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of WBA when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning one game.
It's early days yet, but West Bromwich Albion has scored 2 and conceded 7 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
