I predict a draw for this match. So far the competition between the two teams has been quite even. but seeing Brighton's dominance in that match, they had a chance to win.
West Ham didn't attack much, but they used the right strategy to reduce the aggressiveness of the Brighton players. it was quite an effort to last the entire match. and they succeeded even though they had to settle for a draw. at least the two teams shared points and West Ham managed to maintain the points difference with Brighton
West ham were lucky to take a point yesterday because to be fair, Brighton was the better side. Brighton had three good chances to score but they were not successful. The absence of Kudus is showing impact already and they really need to build a squad and the bench as well. It's sad that Brighton played almost 80% of the ball and West ham sit at home comfortably defending. It's a good tactics to allow your opponent have the ball too and then you launch a counter. Brighton absolutely deserved the victory but unfortunately, the goal did not arrive despite many opportunities were created. It's a good game from them but luck was not there.
If we should mention a team that started this season in the Premier League, the team is Tottenham Hotspur. They started the season very well; they were even topping the standings at the start of the season, but they later slacked. They couldn’t handle the pressure from other big teams. However, the positions now go back to Arsenal.
Still unbelievable how Tottenham stylish slipped down from top four on the league table. Tottenham started the season very well with unbeaten streak without the impact of departed Harry Kane showing in the team. Unfortunately things started taking opposite direction after they lost to Chelsea in early November. It's new year and every club is expected to improve their squad during this January window and hopefully we might see wonders from some teams. Perhaps, they can fight hard to get a spot in top four before the season comes to an end.
