Match Preview
It has been a testing period for David Moyes and his West Ham side, with the pressure mounting on the Hammers boss after going five without a victory in the Premier League. The home side come into this round of matches sitting ninth in the standings after losing each of their last three. However, a return to form could see them end the round as high as seventh.
Defensively, the Hammers will need to improve this week. They have allowed eleven goals across their last three league matches, and they have failed to score in all fixtures over that period. Their most recent defeat was suffered at the City Ground, as Nottingham Forest landed a 2-0 success. Kalvin Phillips’ misery start to life at West Ham continued after seeing red with 20 minutes remaining.

Brentford will also be looking for a big fixture in the context of their season this weekend, as they come into this round of matches after losing four of their previous five in the Premier League. Meanwhile, they have suffered defeats in each of their last two to leave them just five points clear of the relegation places in the standings.
Their most recent defeat was suffered on the road against Man City on Tuesday. Despite defending excellently in that fixture against the champions, City stole maximum points following a winning effort in the final 20 minutes. Brentford will likely need to play more on the front foot this week if they are to have any hope of claiming points at the London Stadium.
West Ham vs Brentford Prediction
Brentford’s record in this fixture deserves a lot of respect. The Bees have won all five previous Premier League clashes between the sides, which includes victories on their last two trips to the London Stadium. Therefore, we will be siding with the away win on Monday.
