Brighton vs West Ham

Current streaks

Recent form

Brighton

Brighton's recent form has been concerning, with the Seagulls failing to secure a victory in their last six matches across all competitions. They have endured a particularly difficult run in the Premier League, suffering three defeats in their last four outings. The team's defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding 13 goals in their previous six games, including a heavy 3-0 home loss to Aston Villa. Despite their struggles, Brighton have shown resilience in some matches, notably holding Manchester City to a 2-2 draw away from home. Their most recent fixture against Brentford was a high-scoring affair, ending in a 4-2 defeat. The Seagulls' inability to keep clean sheets, with just one in their last six games, coupled with their tendency to concede multiple goals, has contributed to their slide to 10th position in the league table. Brighton's propensity for high-scoring matches is evident, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals.

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been concerning, with the Hammers failing to secure a victory in their last six Premier League matches. The team have been struggling to find the back of the net, scoring only five goals during this period, averaging a mere 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've also been vulnerable, conceding eight goals and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these fixtures. The Hammers' inability to win has seen them slide down the table to 17th position, precariously close to the relegation zone. Their last three matches have alternated between draws and losses, highlighting their inconsistency. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games, the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth stands out as their most prolific offensive performance in this run. West Ham's current streak of six games without a win or a clean sheet is a worrying trend that manager David Moyes will be keen to address quickly to avoid being dragged further into a relegation battle.

Recent home/away form

Brighton

Brighton's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Seagulls experiencing a noticeable dip after a strong run. They enjoyed a three-match winning streak at the Amex Stadium, including an impressive 3-0 victory over Chelsea, which was their highest-scoring home game in this period. However, their form has since faltered, with Brighton failing to win any of their last three home fixtures. The team have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five out of their six recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their recent struggles, Brighton have maintained a respectable defensive record, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. Their ability to find the net has been consistent, scoring in four out of the six matches, although they've failed to score in their last two home outings, suggesting a potential cause for concern for the Sussex side.

West Ham

West Ham's recent away form has been rather poor, with the Hammers struggling to find consistency on their travels. In their last six away matches, they've managed just one victory, coming against Arsenal in a surprising 1-0 win. The team have suffered three defeats in this period, including back-to-back losses in their most recent outings against Liverpool and Wolves. West Ham have found goals hard to come by, netting just five times in these six matches, with an average of less than a goal per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more solid, conceding seven goals and keeping one clean sheet. Interestingly, two-thirds of these matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs when West Ham are on the road.
