Brentford will face West Ham United this weekend and is expected to continue climbing the Premier League standings.
West Ham manager David Moyes is under pressure as his team struggles in the Premier League, compounded by their FA Cup exit against Bristol City. Despite promising wins over Manchester United and Arsenal, the Hammers have failed to secure a victory in their last six league matches. Injuries to key players like Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio have weakened their attacking threat, leading to three consecutive league games without a goal. Moyes will be eager to break their pattern of alternating wins, draws, and defeats with a much-needed win against Brentford on Monday.
Brentford, led by Thomas Frank, is going through a tough spell with only two wins in their last 11 games. Despite scoring 13 goals, they've conceded 25, with both teams finding the net in most matches. Their defensive woes are evident, having kept just one clean sheet in their last 15 games, notably in a win against Wolves. Surprisingly, their home form has been poor, suffering consecutive defeats to Aston Villa, Wolves, Manchester City, and Liverpool. However, they've shown resilience away from home, putting up strong performances against Tottenham and Manchester City, albeit ending in defeat. The Bees are overdue for a draw, with their last one coming in October 2023 against Nottingham Forest.
This is a really tough match to call, especially considering the form of both sides, and the fact that Brentford have dominated the top-flight meetings between the teams. It would not be a surprise to see a home win here, but we believe that Brentford will be good enough to secure a share of the spoils in this contest.
