Brentford vs West Ham United Predictions

• Brentford have scored in all their home games so far this term
• Both teams have scored in all of West Ham’s away league games this season
• The visitors have kept one clean sheet across their last 13 league games

Hammers bounce back

After their 1-0 loss to Everton last weekend left them winless in four, West Ham restored some positivity in midweek when they claimed a 3-1 victory over Arsenal. The Hammers kept their chances of another trophy alive with that success, although they’re heading to Liverpool in the quarter-finals.

Brentford have had a turnaround of their own of late, winning their last two league games after a poor run. They picked up a 3-0 win over Burnley in their last home game, ending their wait for a first home success of the campaign. However, Saturday brings a trickier test, despite their fine record against the Hammers.

Little between pair

These two are side-by-side in the Premier League table, with the ninth-placed Hammers a point and a place above Brentford. The Bees have enjoyed the better luck in this fixture so far, winning all four league meetings between the pair.

Despite that advantage, these two are hard to split. They’ve both had major confidence boosters, while they’ve impressed in the league so far. Through the first 10 games, the pair have each scored 16 goals.

The Hammers have scored in all but one of their league games this term, while all five of their trips have seen both teams score. The Bees have scored in every one of their five home games, but they’ve managed one clean sheet. With West Ham managing one shutout across their last 13 league games, both teams to score looks like the standout bet.

Mbeumo can cause problems

Brentford’s attacking record is impressive considering Ivan Toney’s absence, but Bryan Mbeumo has stepped up as their leading scorer. The forward has six Premier League goals this term, both scoring and assisting in each of his last two league games.

Before he took centre stage this season, Mbeumo has always had an impressive impact against the Hammers. The forward has scored eight goals across his nine London derbies in the Premier League, while he’s found the net in three of the four league meetings between these two sides. He can add to his great form this term by hurting the Hammers again.

However, the visitors have a solid away record this term and they could trouble a Brentford side who have drawn three of five home games so far. Back the Hammers to build on Wednesday’s great showing and secure a 2-2 draw in this trip across the capital.
