Brentford vs West Ham Prediction & Tips
Brentford manager Keith Andrews was frustrated by his team’s lack of finishing after Monday’s 2-1 loss to Manchester United, a result that leaves the “Bees” winless in their last six Premier League matches (5 draws, 1 loss). Despite this slump, Brentford’s position remains solid, as they sit ninth and just two points behind the top six. If the club wants to secure European qualification for the first time in its history, draws may not be enough, and they will need to improve their recent performance in London derbies, as they have won only two of their last 15 such matches (D6, L7), although both victories came against West Ham.
West Ham will look to prevent a repeat here as they fight to avoid relegation, a mission bolstered by their unbeaten run in their last three matches (W2, D1). A 92nd-minute goal against Everton in the previous matchday allowed them to accumulate 22 points in their last 13 Premier League matches (W6, D4, L3), a run that has taken them from being seven points adrift of safety to sitting two points above their rivals Tottenham, who occupy 18th place. All three losses came on the road, but the “Hammers” have kept a clean sheet in their last two London derbies in the league (W1, D1), both as the visiting team.
