West Ham United vs Brentford Preview and Team News
West Ham United Team News
West Ham United have lost all but two of their last five games, highlighting their recent struggles. In the Premier League, they sit 18th and are dangerously close to being relegated. However, this is the FA Cup, and the Hammers can play with a clear mindset and a single objective – making it to the next round.
Still, it’s hard to overlook the fact that they’ve conceded six goals in their last five outings while scoring five. Both their defense and attack have performed modestly.
Thankfully, they won 1-0 against Fulham recently despite having just 40% of the ball. Their defensive numbers in that match were not particularly strong, as they won just 45% of their ground duels – an area that clearly needs improvement.
Pablo has been sidelined with a calf injury. He’s not expected to return until the end of this month.
West Ham United predicted lineup vs Brentford (4-4-2): Hermansen; Diouf, Disasi, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka; Summerville, Kante, Soucek, Bowen; Wilson, Castellanos.
Brentford Team News
Brentford, in stark contrast to their opponents, have been unbeaten in four of their last five matches. They sit seventh in the Premier League and have their eyes firmly set on securing a European place next season.
Most recently, they played out a goalless draw with AFC Bournemouth away from home, in which they controlled 52% possession. Their passing accuracy of 77% was respectable, though there is still room for improvement.
Defenders Nathan Collins and Sepp van den Berg stood out with a stellar showing (12 combined defensive actions). Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher also impressed, making two vital saves for his team.
Ahead of this clash, the Bees have several key players sidelined with injuries. Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Fabio Carvalho, Joshua Dasilva, Reiss Nelson, and Vitaly Janelt are all unavailable.
Brentford predicted lineup vs West Ham United (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Meghoma, Collins, van den Berg, Kayode; Jansen, Henderson; Schade, Damsgaard, Ouattara; Thiago.
West Ham United vs Brentford Prediction
- Pick: Brentford to win or draw
- Odds: -270 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: West Ham United 1-3 Brentford
We expect Brentford to either win this game or come away with a draw. They’ve defeated West Ham in seven of their last 12 meetings. Their last three clashes have ended in two Bees wins and a draw.
The Hammers currently appear to be in a difficult position, as they sit in the relegation zone. Brentford’s attacking prowess, boosted by Igor Thiago, will be hard for West Ham to counter.
West Ham United vs Brentford Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Brentford to score the first goal
- Odds: -120 (20Bet)
Thiago’s presence in the Brentford lineup adds a fearless edge to their attack. The Brazilian is the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League with 18 goals this season.
Attacking midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard (seven goal contributions across all competitions) and winger Kevin Schade (10 goal involvements) are also major threats to the West Ham defense. We expect the visitors to open the scoring in this London derby before going on to either win or draw the match.
