West Ham United, currently hovering above the relegation zone in 17th place, travel to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton on April 26, 2025, in search of a much-needed victory. Africa Foot expert Bill Eshun looks into the upcoming clash and provides his prediction of the outcome.Â
Key Facts
- West Ham have earned just nine points from their last 10 Premier League matches
- Brighton have collected 25 points from 16 home games this season
Brighton vs West Ham Match Preview
It’s been a difficult campaign for West Ham, who despite a managerial change, have continued to slide. Without a win in their last six league games, the Hammers are in desperate need of a positive result to end the season on a stronger note. While they are likely safe due to Ipswich’s struggles, fans will want to see a spirited finish.
Brighton, meanwhile, have fallen out of the race for European football after collecting just two points from their last five league matches. With five games remaining, the Seagulls aim to reclaim momentum and secure a top-half finish.
Kudus to Bring Back the Magic?
Mohammed Kudus has had a relatively underwhelming season by his high standards. The Ghanaian has registered only three goals in 27 league appearances but remains West Ham’s creative heartbeat.
With his dazzling footwork and flair, Kudus still has a chance to end the season on a high and help steer his side away from the relegation conversation completely.
