West Ham vs. Brentford Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for West Ham vs. Brentford at English Premier League

Where: London Stadium, London, England
When: Tuesday, February 27, 04:00 AM

The Hammers and the Bees haven’t been playing well in recent times, which reflects their position in the standings. West Ham is in the middle of the table, with slim chances of reaching the international stage. Brentford is only five points away from the relegation zone. If they continue to post results like in the recent few weeks, we are pretty sure that in no time, the Bees will be fighting for their Premiership status.

West Ham vs. Brentford Preview

West Ham

Believe it or not, West Ham didn’t win in the previous eight meetings. During that stretch, we’ve seen them post four ties and four defeats. The Hammers lost the past three clashes, not scoring a single goal, which shows the depth of their crisis.

The negative streak started against Manchester United on the road, 3-0, and it continued at home against Arsenal, who inflicted one of the worst defeats to the Hammers in their recent history, 0-6. Following all this, West Ham lost in Nottingham last weekend, 2-0.

They are playing solid at home, having just one loss in 10 games, which was against the Gunners. Yet before that failure, we’ve seen them recording three straight ties, playing rather poorly in each of them.

Brentford

The Bees are in an equally bad spot. Two wins over the latest ten encounters with one tie and seven losses are terrible. Their defense was awful during this stretch, frequently conceding three or more goals, to be exact, on six occasions.

The efficiency of their clashes is very high, with seven in the last ten ending over 2.5 goals, and eight with both teams netting. Brentford has a solid attack, and up until last Monday, when they lost to Man City at the Etihad, 1-0, this unit netted in ten straight.

But as we already stated, the defense is incredibly fragile, which wasn’t the case early on in the campaign. This might be a critical period for Brentford’s season, and if the team doesn’t respond well, they could go down.

West Ham vs. Brentford Predictions

Both teams are in terrible form, and in our opinion, anything is possible when it comes to the full-time result. Yet, we are pretty certain that high efficiency is inevitable in this event, so our pick will be over 2.5 hits. The respective defenses have been weak, which should produce plenty of goals.

Our pick: Over 2.5 goals
