West Ham vs Brentford Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League matchday 25 action continues on Saturday at noon, with struggling West Ham welcoming Brentford to the London Stadium in a London derby clash. Can the Hammers turn around from their miserable season?
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham’s season has hit a miserable run of form, and the Hammers fans will be desperate for their side to show improvement in recent games. Graham Potter has experienced a tough start to life in his return to his managerial career, with his side having won just once since his appointment in early January, losing two, and playing a draw. The Hammers head into the weekend action, having won just one of their last seven games in all competitions, and they’ve taken just four points from their last six league games. The last time out in the Premier League, the Hammers extended their winless run to three games as they were beaten 2-1 in the London derby match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Currently, the Hammers sit 16th in the Premier League standings with 27 points, ten points above the drop zone.
Graham Potter’s men will hope to avoid a second straight home loss after they were beaten 2-0 by Crystal in their last home game. Their defense has conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 home matches and has failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last six home matches.
Brentford Preview & Form
Brentford is struggling with form at the moment, having secured just two wins in their last ten Premier League matches while suffering six defeats and drawing twice. The last time out in the Premier League, the Bees suffered a 2-0 defeat against struggling Tottenham Hotspur at the Gtech Community Stadium. Despite their challenging run of form, Thomas Frank’s team has remained entertaining to watch, demonstrating remarkable consistency this season by scoring 42 goals while also conceding the same number of goals. The Bees currently sit 11th in the league standings with 31 points from 24 games.
On the road, Thomas Frank’s men are looking to be finding some form with their away games, having ended their nine successive winless runs with back-to-back victories in the last two matches, beating Southampton 5-0 at St. Mary Stadium and Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
