Reason for West Ham vs Brentford Predictions
West Ham welcomes Brentford for a clash in the Premier League at London Stadium this coming Friday. The last time these two teams squared up, Brentford ran out 2-0 winners, which they surely won’t mind doing again at London Stadium. West Ham plays catch-up as they recorded 14 points in 16 matches, putting them up as 16th before their upcoming clash. West Ham is looking for revenge after succumbing to a disappointing defeat in the last meeting against Brentford. Judging by the odds from the bookmakers, they have a good chance of making it. West Ham scored ten times in the previous ten outings for an average of one goal a game. They conceded 12 and managed. A draw was the best West Ham could muster in their last three games. They claimed a 2-2 draw against Blackburn before getting trounced 0-2 against Leicester. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Arsenal ran out 3-1 winners. West Ham won three of their previous six matches at London Stadium in the Premier League. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring nine goals to six against. Declan Rice has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Pablo Fornals is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed. The West Ham United boss David Moyes has zero fitness concerns at all ahead of this game thanks to a completely injury-free squad to pick from.
Brentford currently ranks 10th in the Premier League standings. Brentford is presently not the most scoring team in the Premier League, as they only found the back of the net ten times in ten matches. This is an average of just one goal a game in which they conceded 18 times, an average of 1.8 per game. They managed three clean sheets of these. In their last three matches, Brentford drew 1-1 with Gillingham and beat Manchester City 1-2 before a 2-2 draw with Tottenham. Brentford only has one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches, they drew three and lost two as well as being outscored by 13 goals to six. Not many experts saw Brentford as a team for a top-half finish this season, but currently, they are well ahead of said expectations. Vitaly Janelt plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Bryan Mbeumo plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable, he deserves to play in a better team. Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there is only one fitness issue for the Brentford manager Thomas Frank to be concerned with. Aaron Hickey (Ankle Injury) misses out for this game.
Conclusion
There are no favorites in this match, and we won’t be surprised if this clash could end in a draw.
This will be a big fight between these two rivals, and we should expect a goal from both teams. Football fans should enjoy this match and see at least a goal in each net.
