Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Draw — 3.64
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Both teams to score: YES — 1.79
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Brentford yellow cards: Over 1.5 — 1.57
West Ham United may head into the game as the favourites but there’s a chance they could share the spoils with Brentford at home as the Bees have drawn three of their last five Premier League matches. The Hammers have lost four of their last five games, which suggest they are not in their best shape to get a win.
West Ham United lost 3-1 at Arsenal. Brentford played a 2-2 draw at home against Tottenham. Both sides are lacking a bit at the back and for this reason, they are likely to get on the scoreboard this week.
The Bees are fond of making clumsy tackles and that’s something West Ham United could feed off on Friday. Brentford received three yellow cards against Tottenham on Boxing Day and they play at away to West Ham and will be more physical in a bid to get something off the Hammers. Hence, there’s a chance they could get at least two against West Ham.
The Hammers are in huge trouble in the Premier League, having lost four league matches on a bounce and for this reason, they occupy 16th position with 14 points after 16 matches.
“>West Ham United are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship unless they improve their form under David Moyes.
The Bees will definitely be disappointed that they failed to get the win over Tottenham, having gone 2-0 up early in the second half. Spurs fought back and drew 2-2 at Gtech Community Stadium.
Brentford are keen on improving their form, having draw three of their last five league matches but despite winning just one of their last five league matches, they remain safe from relegation.
The Hammers are the favourites to get the win but they are likely to be in a tight corner if they don’t improve on their performance against Arsenal. Brentford are relentless and are capable of hurting West Ham United real hard. However, West Ham to win or draw should on the cards for David Moyes’ side.
Because there’s a chance both teams might get on the scoreboard, we could be about to witness a score draw at the London Stadium on Friday.
Because both teams are lacking a bit at the back, there’s a decent chance West Ham could score at least one goal at full-time.
Kurt Zouma and Maxwel Cornet are ruled out. Gianluca Scamacca and Nayef Aguerd are doubts for the game.
