Preview
West Ham and Brighton face at London Stadium, in a match for the 17th round of the Premier League. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 1 and tied 4. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Premier League, played on 02‑01‑2024, they tied (0‑0). Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis West Ham

The home team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against AFC Bournemouth, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 34 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 30 conceded. In the last 8 home league matches West Ham has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 24 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 7 of the last 8 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

West Ham United go into this game on the back of a one-all draw at Bournemouth: the team's only goal came from Lucas Paquetá. The home side will play a 4-3-3 tactical system, with Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen and Niclas Füllkrug playing the most attacking roles. Lucas Paquetá, Edson Álvarez and Tomas Soucek will be deployed in the more central areas of the field. Coach Julen Lopetegui will not be able to count on Michail Antonio due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Łukasz Fabiański, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Max Kilman, Emerson, Edson Álvarez, Tomáš Souček, Lucas Paquetá, Kudus Mohammed, Niclas Füllkrug, Jarrod Bowen.
Coach: D. Moyes.

Analysis Brighton

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 6 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Leicester City, by (2‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Crystal Palace, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Brighton has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 24 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑1 (5 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2.

Brighton come into this game demotivated after a 1-3 defeat at Crystal Palace: the only goal in their favor was scored by Marc Guéhi (own goal). The visitors usually play a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring quick transitions. In this formation, the three most advanced men will be Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh and João Pedro. One of Brighton's biggest shortcomings is the finishing of the goal-scoring opportunities they manage to create during the match. Coach Fabian Hürzeler won't be able to count on Solly March due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Bart Verbruggen, Pervis Estupinan, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Joël Veltman, Mats Wieffer, Carlos Balepa Noom Quomah, João Pedro, Georginio Rutter, Brajan Gruda, Kaoru Mitoma.
Coach: F. Hürzeler.
