Match Preview
As West Ham United prepare to host Brentford at the London Stadium, both teams come into the match with contrasting recent form. The Hammers have shown resilience, bouncing back from a disappointing defeat with a hard-fought draw against a strong opponent. In contrast, Brentford's form has been less consistent, with only one win in their last five matches, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in their defensive setup.
One key angle to consider is West Ham's home advantage. Historically, they have performed well against Brentford, winning four of the last ten encounters at home. The Hammers will look to exploit Brentford's shaky away form, which has seen them struggle to secure points on the road. With both teams capable of finding the net—evidenced by their recent head-to-head record featuring four matches with both teams scoring—this fixture promises to be an intriguing contest. Expect West Ham to leverage their home crowd and momentum, while Brentford will need to tighten their defence to avoid slipping further down the table.
