Friday evening, at 20:00, Brighton receives West Ham United’s visit to the 8th Premier League. In the game on “AmEx Stadium” could come international novel Florin Andone, which is the reserve of Glenn Murray in the white-blue attack. The guests are on the wave, but they have batch problems that Brighton can take advantage of.
The guest can not play more mid-field players, like Lanzini or Wilshere. In addition, Carroll, Reid and Sanchez are still injured, while Chicharito Hernandez is uncertain, but not far in the maximum physical form. Chris Houghton’s team is missing only the German Gross, who accuses pain in the ankle. Most likely, Brighton will align a 4-2-3-1 tactical system more focused on defensive safety. Last season, the “seagulls” lost just 0-2 on the Manchester City championship, but Brighton had no chance at points against Pep Guardiola’s stars.
West Ham has scored 14 goals in the last 4 official matches!
The two bands are ranked neighbors, with Brighton on 15th place (balance 1-2-4 and goal 8-13) and West Ham on 14th place (balance 2-1-4 and goalie 8-12). The Londoners have only begun to score points in the last few stages, with two successes and a draw in the last few weeks! Last week, Manuel Pellegrini’s team won a lot of confidence after winning Manchester United on the field (3-1). It was an excellent group performance, and the relationship seems to be playing in West Ham.
By comparison, Brighton has 6 matches in a row without winning the championship and suffers a lot in defending. More specifically, we note that white-blue have been awarded the goal in all official matches so far! It’s a problem that Florin Andone’s manager is trying to solve in training, but the truth is that Brighton simply needs more valuable backers. West Ham is likely to approach the brave match, with a rather vulnerable opponent.
The balance of the victories in the direct matches is 3-3.
West Ham ranks between the good results of the championship and an impressive 8-0 with Macclesfield in the English Cup, and the shape of the guest’s moment is superior. West Ham knows to play on the counter and has the ability to keep the ball in possession of Brighton, but it is likely that the Londoners would be pleased with a draw on a field that the grandees suffer. In the seven direct matches so far, only once was the equality: in 2005, score 2-2. Otherwise I saw three victories for each camp. No less than 4 of the last 5 direct matches had at least three goals scored, with scores of 3-1, 3-0, 6 -0 and 3-0. Interestingly, West Ham has lost both disputes with Brighton from the previous season.
