West Ham v Brentford

West Ham vs Brentford Preview

West Ham slumped to another loss in the Premier League last time out in the English top flight when The Hammers were dealt a disappointing 2-1 loss away from home at Chelsea in what was a miserable reunion at Stamford Bridge for West Ham manager, Graham Potter, and also left the upcoming hosts sitting in 16th place in the table.

Brentford's mixed bag of results in recent weeks in the Premier League continued last time out when The Bees slipped to a 2-0 defeat at home to beleaguered Tottenham which means the upcoming visitors have now managed to collect just two wins from their previous nine matches overall in the domestic top flight.

West Ham have now managed to pick up just the single win within their previous six matches in the Premier League which came in the form of a 3-2 home win against Fulham but otherwise, Graham Potter's side have struggled to pick up results and points on a consistent basis.

Four defeats within these last six games have seen West Ham slip to defeats at the hands of Liverpool, Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Chelsea respectively, so the straight win markets look decidedly risky for this upcoming clash at home with Brentford.

However, the goals market looks promising for this upcoming clash at the London Stadium as no fewer than seven out of West Ham's last 10 matches overall have resulted in both teams scoring.

Brentford slipped to a second defeat in three games overall in the Premier League last time out when The Bees stumbled to a 2-0 loss at home to Tottenham which followed a previous 2-0 loss at home to the league leaders, Liverpool, and although Brentford registered a 2-1 win away from home at Crystal Palace in between, the visitors have also found points tough to pick up in recent weeks.

Indeed, Brentford have managed to claim just two wins from their last nine games overall, both of which were surprisingly collected on their travels with victories gained at Southampton and aforementioned Crystal Palace, but this sequence of results also include being dealt five defeats as well.

Despite winning their last two away games on the trot, Brentford's overall results on the road have been poor as The Bees have recorded just two wins from their last 11 outings on the road in the Premier League, thus underlining the need to avoid the straight win markets here.

Goals do look likely to feature this Saturday though as seven out of Brentford's last 10 away games in the English top flight have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.
