Brentford will be hoping to maintain their recent good form as they host West Ham in a Premier League fixture on Saturday. The Hammers have not been at their best lately and should find things difficult at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Brentford are coming off an impressive 2-0 victory at Chelsea in their previous Premier League fixture. They were the better side throughout the encounter with Ethan Pinnock opening the scoring while Bryan Mbeumo netted the winner in added time.
That was the second straight win for Brentford, who also picked up a 3-0 home victory over Burnley in their previous fixture. Thomas Frank’s men are just inside the top half of the standings and can climb to eighth if results go their way this weekend.
Brentford have looked sharp in attack in recent weeks with Mbeumo particularly catching the eye. However, they remain suspect at the back and have kept just one clean sheet in their last six Premier League matches at the Gtech Community Stadium.
West Ham head into Saturday’s clash off the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Everton in their previous Premier League fixture. They saw plenty of possession but lacked the cutting edge in attack, finishing with just two attempts on target.
The Hammers appear to be going through a rough patch as they have picked up just one win in their last six Premier League matches. They have suffered four defeats in that run and could slip into the bottom half of the standings if results do not go their way this weekend.
It is not all doom and gloom for West Ham, who showed flashes of their quality in a 3-1 home victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Having lost their last two away matches, David Moyes’ men will be looking to channel that performance on Saturday.
