West Ham 1-1 Brighton

Current streaks

Recent form

West Ham

West Ham have been displaying inconsistent form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding a mixed bag of results. The Hammers have struggled to find a consistent rhythm, alternating between wins, losses, and draws. Notably, they've conceded 10 goals in their last six matches, including a high-scoring 5-2 defeat to Arsenal, which significantly impacted their goal difference. Despite this defensive fragility, West Ham have managed to score in five of their last six games, demonstrating some attacking prowess. Their two clean sheets in this period, both resulting in positive outcomes (a win and a draw), highlight the importance of their defensive stability. The team's position of 14th in the league table reflects their inconsistent performances, with their goal-scoring average of 1.33 per game being outweighed by their 1.67 goals conceded per game.

Brighton

Brighton's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Seagulls struggling to maintain consistency in their last six matches. Despite impressive victories against Manchester City and Bournemouth, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine games, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. Their attacking prowess remains evident, with both teams scoring in all of their recent fixtures and an impressive 83% of matches featuring over 2.5 goals. The 3-1 defeat to Fulham and the 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace stand out as particularly high-scoring encounters. Brighton's current 9th position in the league table with 24 points from 16 games reflects their inconsistent performances, as they have been unable to string together more than two consecutive positive results. Their goal difference of -2 further underscores the team's defensive vulnerabilities, which have overshadowed their ability to find the back of the net consistently.

Recent home/away form

West Ham

West Ham's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Hammers showing both promise and vulnerability at the London Stadium. They've managed to secure three wins in their last six home matches, including impressive victories against Wolves and Manchester United. However, their defensive frailties were exposed in a high-scoring 5-2 defeat to Arsenal, which stands out as a particularly goal-laden encounter. The team have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six home games, while their matches have been notably high-scoring affairs, with 83% of them featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, West Ham have shown they can be a threat at home, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but their tendency to concede (1.83 goals per game) has hindered their progress up the table.

Brighton

Brighton's recent away form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Seagulls have struggled defensively, conceding an average of two goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet during this period. Notably, their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their away games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Brighton's 4-2 loss to Chelsea stands out as a particularly goal-laden encounter. Despite their mixed results, Brighton have managed to maintain a respectable scoring record, netting 1.5 goals per game on average. However, their negative goal difference of -3 over these six away matches suggests they are facing challenges in balancing their attacking prowess with defensive stability on their travels.
