The Premier League returns this week with a crucial clash at the London Stadium as West Ham United host Brentford today. Both sides come into the match desperate for a turnaround, making this West Ham United vs Brentford encounter a must-win for both teams.

West Ham United vs Brentford Preview

Brentford, currently 15th in the table, are far from their best form. A narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester City last week highlighted their inconsistencies. Meanwhile, West Ham United, sitting in tenth, haven't fared much better. A disappointing 2-0 loss to Nottingham Forest extended their winless run to three Premier League games, with the Hammers failing to score in any of them.

Historically, West Ham United boast a decent record against Brentford, winning 23 out of 54 encounters. However, the trend in the Premier League paints a different picture. Brentford have remarkably won all five of their top-flight meetings against the Hammers, with West Ham United even conceding at least two goals in each of those encounters.

Prediction On The Match

West Ham United are in dire need of a positive result, especially considering their recent poor run. Playing at home adds pressure for the Hammers to avoid another setback in this West Ham United vs Brentford clash.

Brentford, known for their attacking prowess, pose a significant threat despite their recent struggles. However, with both teams in an inconsistent spell, the match could end in a draw.
