Match preview: Brighton vs West Ham

Brighton and West Ham will face off at The American Express Community Stadium, in a match for the 34th round of the Premier League. In their last encounter in this competition, on 21‑12‑2024, the result ended in a draw (1‑1). The history of direct clashes played at this stadium favours the home team, who have won 2, drawn 1, and lost 1 of their last 4 matches against West Ham here. However, in their last meeting at this stadium during the Premier League, on 26‑2023, West Ham United came out on top, winning 1‑3. The goals from that match were scored by Pascal Groß (81′) for Brighton, and by Jarrod Bowen (58′), James Ward-Prowse (19′), and Michail Antonio (63′) for West Ham. The home advantage may be crucial, as West Ham has shown differences in their performance when playing at home versus away.

Team analysis: Brighton

Brighton currently sits in 10th place, having earned 48 points from 12 wins, 12 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew at home against Leicester City (2‑2). In the last match, they suffered a defeat away to Brentford (4‑2). This team has maintained their form while playing away, with a record of 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 matches; compared to 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses on home soil. In their last 10 home games in the league, Brighton has recorded 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, earning 13 points from a possible 30. The team has conceded goals to their opponents in 8 of the last 10 fixtures, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, while their attack has been consistently scoring, managing to find the net in 8 of their last 10 competitive matches. There is a trend for high-scoring games, with 11 of their 16 home matches ending with more than 2.5 goals. Of the 33 games played in this competition, they have successfully overturned the scoreline in just 3 of the 14 matches where they conceded the first goal.

Brighton goes into this match following a 4-2 loss at Brentford Stadium, with goals scored by Danny Welbeck and Kaoru Mitoma. The team, managed by Fabian Hürzeler, typically plays in a 4-3-3 formation, with Yankuba Minteh, Danny Welbeck, and Kaoru Mitoma bearing offensive responsibilities. In attack, they tend to favour the right flank, exploiting the depth provided by full-back Mats Wieffer. For this fixture, Hürzeler will be without Pervis Estupiñán and João Pedro due to suspension, as well as James Milner, Jason Steele, Tariq Lamptey, Ferdi Kadıoğlu, Adam Webster, Georginio Rutter, and Igor, who are all nursing injuries.

Team analysis: West Ham

The visiting team currently occupies 16th place with 36 points, having secured 9 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses. In their penultimate match, they lost away to Liverpool (2‑1). In their last match, they drew at home against Southampton (1‑1). West Ham tends to be affected by the home factor and is stronger when backed by their supporters; in their last 30 matches as visitors, they have recorded 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses, scoring 14 goals and conceding 25. Conversely, at home, they have achieved 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses, with a total of 19 goals scored and 26 conceded. In the last 10 league matches, West Ham has earned 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, gaining 9 points from a maximum of 30. Their games often see the most common score at the end of the first 45 minutes being 1‑0, occurring in 7 of their 17 matches. While they have allowed goals in 8 of their last 10 matches, they have shown some attacking promise, scoring in 7 of their last 10 fixtures. Their away matches have generally been low-scoring, as 10 out of their last 16 games in the league ended with fewer than 2.5 goals. In the 33 games played in this competition, they conceded the first goal 18 times and were unable to turn the score around on any occasion.

West Ham United approaches this fixture after a 1-1 draw against Southampton, with the team’s only goal scored by Jarrod Bowen. Managed by Graham Potter, the team usually employs a 4-3-3 formation that favours fast-paced play. Key offensive players include Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paquetá, and Niclas Füllkrug. When attacking, they tend to use the left flank, benefiting from the depth provided by full-back Emerson. Missing from this match will be Aaron Cresswell, Cry Sen-cio Summerville, and Michail Antonio, all of whom are sidelined due to injury.
