West Ham vs Brentford Prediction & Match Preview

• West Ham shipped eleven unanswered goals in the last three Premier League defeats.
• The Hammers are winless in eight subsequent outings across competitions.
• Brentford won five of the previous six head-to-head meetings with the Hammers.

West Ham United host Brentford in the last game of Matchday No 26 on Monday night at London Stadium. The Hammers continued their slump in form last weekend with another embarrassing display in a 0-2 defeat at Nottingham Forest. It was the third consecutive Premier League loss for David Moyes’ men.

The Hammers are now winless in eight successive outings across competitions. They looked toothless in the final third in any of the last three league matches. The fact they’ve conceded eleven unanswered goals in the process speaks for itself. It is very hard to expect them to suddenly start producing.

Brentford have not quite been firing on all cylinders themselves of late. The Bees won just 2 of the last 13 games in all competitions. Nevertheless, head coach Thomas Frank can at least be satisfied with what he has seen from his troops in the previous game. Brentford pushed defending champions to the limits in a narrow 0-1 defeat away at Manchester City on Tuesday night.

Recent Meetings

Brentford picked up a 3-2 victory in an eventful reverse game played in November last year at Gtech Community Stadium.

The Bees have five wins in the previous six meetings with West Ham.

Both teams scored just twice in the last seven head-to-head affairs.

West Ham vs Brentford Prediction

Brentford have been an unpleasant rival for West Ham in recent years. The Bees won five of the last six head-to-head encounters with the Hammers. Knowing how poor West Ham looked in the last couple of weeks, we have reasons to expect the continuation of this trend on Monday evening in London. David Moyes’ men conceded eleven unanswered goals in the last three defeats to Manchester United, Arsenal, and Nottingham Forest. They were brutally outplayed by the rivals in each of these three affairs. On the other side, things look much better for Thomas Frank in terms of his roster following the return of Yoanne Wissa from the CAF Africa Cup of Nations. We’ll back Brentford to win at the 2.75 odds.

The Hammers’ defence has been all over the place lately. The Hammers shipped two or more goals in four of the last five league games. They even allowed two goals in the match against Sheffield United a month ago. West Ham shipped three goals in the previous clash against Brentford in November last year. This will all be the music to the ear of Ivan Toney. The English forward has bagged four goals in six appearances for Brentford since his ban. You can back Toney to score anytime at the 2.50 odds.
