Pre-match comments Brighton vs West Ham
Brighton have been unbeaten in four games going into round 14. During that time, Brighton have won three and drawn one. As a result, they have climbed from 10th place to the Premier League Top 5. The recent defeat to Aston Villa (3-4) has not significantly affected their position in the rankings. Currently, Fabian Hurzeler's team is in 7th place, just 1 point away from the prestigious European Cup.
Brighton's home game against Aston Villa was characterised by physicality, with plenty of fierce battles near the opposition goal. Brighton took the lead but Aston Villa equalised just before half-time.
In the second half, the home team continued to struggle in the penalty area and conceded 2 more goals. At the end of the match, they could only reduce the gap to 3-4 and went home empty-handed. This was a disappointing ending, putting pressure back on Brighton today.
Form, history of confrontation Brighton vs West Ham
The arrival of Nuno Santo has yet to have a significant impact on West Ham's position in the Premier League table. Under the Portuguese coach, West Ham have only risen two places, from 19th to 17th.
However, positive results in the last 5 matches have helped the London team move closer to escaping the relegation zone. They are only 2 points away from safety in 16th place.
Under Nuno Santo, the Hammers are finally starting to pick up points, despite not winning in their last three games. But it must be admitted that their current fixtures have not been ideal. West Ham's opponents include some of this season's European contenders, including Bournemouth, Liverpool and Man United.
However, West Ham still left a bit of an impression, losing only once in the last 5 matches. In comparison to Brighton, they are also confident with the same results in the last 4 meetings (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss). Therefore, West Ham has reason to be optimistic about tonight's match.
