Last season, West Ham United was relegated from the Premier League. In the new season, their goal is to strive for promotion. They remained undefeated in five pre - season friendlies, with 3 wins and 2 draws, showing a stable performance in both attack and defense. The attack was multi - faceted, and the defense was generally under control. However, in this game, the midfield core, Tomas Soucek, is out due to an ankle ligament injury, which weakens the midfield's toughness. Raphinha Traore is also sidelined, and many new signings and young players will get a chance to play. There is a possibility of rotation for key players like Jarrod Bowen. At home, West Ham United usually adopts a high - pressing strategy, relying on the home - field atmosphere to gain ball possession. They create shooting opportunities through wing runs and penetrations in the flanks. Nonetheless, the rotation lineup may lack understanding. Once they push forward aggressively, the defense may expose vulnerabilities

West Ham United endured a disappointing season last time. Despite a slight improvement in the players' form towards the end of the league campaign, they were unfortunately relegated, ending their 14 - year Premier League journey. However, the overall competitiveness of this team far exceeds that of most Championship sides. As long as the players can perform to their full potential, West Ham has the ability to compete for direct promotion. In addition, West Ham United played four friendlies, and the team's overall performance was relatively stable. On the other hand, Portsmouth struggled in the relegation battle throughout most of the last season. They only finished 18th in the Championship, barely avoiding relegation with a slim margin. Their overall strength and the players' performances were among the bottom in the league. Moreover, the Portsmouth players' form fluctuated greatly last season, and there were significant flaws in both offense and defense. The strikers in the attacking

West Ham United will stick to their attacking framework at home, aiming for a high - press strategy. They'll leverage the home - crowd support to control the game's tempo, creating scoring opportunities through wing runs, second - phase attacks, and set - pieces. However, with the absence of Tomas Soucek, the midfield's interception ability and the quality of forward passes have declined. Many young substitutes have been fielded, leading to a lack of cohesion among the players. The team is in a dilemma. If they maintain a high - pressure game, the full - backs will push forward significantly, leaving large gaps at the back, which Portsmouth can exploit for counter - attacks. On the other hand, if they retreat, the midfield drive in the attacking phase will be lacking, and it will be difficult to pose a consistent threat in positional play. Nuno's primary goal in this game is to test the rotated squad. He won't launch an all - out attack at all costs. When the team fails to score after

Montpellier has been in good form recently, winning 6, drawing 2, and losing 2 in their last 10 games. On the other hand, Dijon has a better record in the last 10 games, with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. However, their away - game performance is mediocre.

Their attack has been relatively effective, conceding a total of 15 goals at the back.

Alkmaar has shown an improved form recently. In their last 10 matches, they won 4, drew 5, and lost 1. The victory in their previous game ended a period of inconsistent performances, which has surely boosted their morale. On the other hand, Den Haag, who had a strong record of 8 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 10 games, is now experiencing a significant decline in form. Historically, Alkmaar holds a clear edge over Den Haag. Alkmaar plays a defensive - counterattacking style, which means their ability to launch proactive attacks is limited, often leaving them in a passive position. Den Haag's forwards are underperforming, and both teams seem to lack the ability to secure points easily. Once a team falls behind, it's highly likely to end up losing the game. The question is whether Alkmaar can maintain their positive momentum and secure another victory in this match. Alkmaar has shown a solid performance recently, with 4 wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss in their last 10 matches. The team
