In my opinion West Ham have bigger chances to win this game than bookies wants to suggest for us in their odds. +0 AH on home side looks like very safe option to play - I don't see away win here.
First match of the season between both teams finished with West Ham 3:1 win at Amex Stadium. They have big mental advantage before this game, no doubt about that. Brighton wants to play open, offensive football, but this tactic suits West Ham because they loves to stay deep, solid at the back and create some decent chances from counter attacks. This is exactly what we saw in last round from West Ham.
West Ham is full of confidence. In last round they played in derby of London against Arsenal and won there 2:0! They wants to go with momentum today. West Ham looked rock solid at the back and extremely dangerous on the counters with players like Bowen (11 goals and 2 assists in 18 matches) or Kudus (scored in last 3 matches and have already 9 goals in home matches this season). Hammer's won in 6 of last 8 league matches. Today they have a chance to make for the first time in club history 4th consecutive win in Premier League without conceded goal. In overall manager Moyes deserve a lot of credit for current season. West Ham plays best campaign since 1985/1986..
I don't trust for Brighton in this game because their defensive formation is extremely unstable. They failed to keep clean sheet in last 23 matches (!!!). Brighton failed to win in 10 of last 13 games so I see great opportunity for West Ham. Hosts didn't lost opening match of new calendar year in last 5 campaigns and I expect continuation of this streak today.
At least one point for West Ham today, but I see big chances for 3.
在我看来,西汉姆有更大的机会赢得这场比赛比博彩公司希望给我们的赔率。主场+0 AH看起来是一个非常安全的选择——我不认为客场会赢。
两队本赛季的第一场比赛在美国运通球场以西汉姆3:1获胜结束。毫无疑问,他们在这场比赛前有很大的心理优势。布莱顿想踢开放的进攻足球,但这种战术适合西汉姆联,因为他们喜欢在后场保持稳固,并在反击中创造一些不错的机会。这正是我们在上一轮从西汉姆联看到的。
西汉姆充满了信心。上一轮他们在伦敦德比中对阵阿森纳,并以2:0获胜!他们今天想要有冲劲。西汉姆在后防线上看起来坚如磐石,在反击时也极具威胁,像鲍文(18场11球2助攻)和库德斯(最近3场比赛进球,本赛季主场已经打进9球)。汉默在最近8场联赛中赢了6场。今天他们有机会在俱乐部历史上第一次在英超联赛中连续4场不败。总的来说,莫耶斯本赛季的表现值得称赞。西汉姆联打出了自1985/1986赛季以来最好的赛季。
我不相信布莱顿在这场比赛中的表现,因为他们的防守阵型非常不稳定。他们在过去的23场比赛中没能保持零封(!!)布莱顿在过去的13场比赛中有10场失利,所以我认为西汉姆联有很大的机会。东道主在过去的5个赛季中没有输过新日历年的首场比赛,我希望今天能延续这种连胜。
西汉姆今天至少得一分,但我认为很有可能得三分。
