Bet of the Day: West Ham to beat Brighton on Friday Night Football

The Hammers have improved recently

This weekend’s Premier League action starts early with West Ham United taking on Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday night.

West Ham have started to pick up some points after a very poor start. They’ve only lost one of their last six games in all competitions.

Brighton are in 14th place, just above the Hammers on goal difference, but they’ve struggled on the road in the top flight.

Chris Hughton’s side have only picked up one point from four away games in the league this season. They’ve only scored one goal too.

That means home advantage could make the difference for West Ham. Tottenham are the only away side to leave the London Stadium with three points so far this term.

With that in mind, today’s Coral Bet of the Day is West Ham to Win to Nil at 9/5.

Hernandez’s chance to shine

Slaven Bilic has awkwardly tried to fit Javier Hernandez and Andy Carroll into the starting XI at times this season.

Carroll is suspended for this game, which means Hernandez should start in his favoured poacher’s position.

Manuel Lanzini’s return to fitness benefits the Mexico international too. He’ll add much-needed creativity in midfield.

Hernandez is 4/1 as First Goalscorer.
