Monday’s football tips: West Ham 8/5 to leave Brentford with more travel sickness

London derbies have brought West Ham plenty of pain this season but they'll be hoping their luck changes in tonight's Premier League clash with Brentford.

Defeats to Chelsea, Spurs and Crystal Palace helped bring the axe down on Graham Potter before Nuno Espirito Santo lost his second game in charge away to Arsenal.

The Hammers sit second bottom of the table so they desperately need all three points tonight to get their season up and running.

West Ham United vs Brentford top betting tips

Brentford have lost all three games on their Premier League travels this season and those matches haven't been against any of the big hitters.

So there could be some value in backing West Ham to win their first game under Espirito Santo at a decent 8/5 with BoyleSports.

West Ham have won eight corners across the new manager's first two games in charge, which were both away from home.

The could get more back on home soil and over 5.5 Hammers corners pays evens at BoyleSports. Backing them for most corners also appeals at 20/21.

Alaves vs Valencia

Valencia went into the international break on a three-game run without a win and need to bounce back with a victory on their return at Alaves tonight.

But it won't be easy as the Basques have been in decent form at home this season, with two wins, one draw and one defeat.

Alaves beat Elche 3-1 in their last outing and BoyleSports make them 5/4 favourites for another three points tonight.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals has come up in the last three for Valencia so combining those bets could pay off tonight at 9/5 with BoyleSports. BTTS on its own also looks good value at 20/21.

This fixture averaged five cards across the two meetings last term so it could also pay to back a busy night for the ref. Valencia stopper Cesar Tarrega has picked up two yellows this term and is 9/4 at BoyleSports to go into the book again.

Cremonese vs Udinese

Cremonese have made a strong start in Serie A after winning promotion and will be looking to get more points on the board when Udinese come calling tonight.

Their unbeaten league run came to an end before the break as Inter Milan dished out a 4-1 beating at the San Siro.

But Cremonese still sit comfortably in mid-table and are one point ahead of tonight's visitors.

Udinese lost 3-1 to Sassuolo on their last away day but had previously beaten Inter and Pisa on the road.

So backing Udinese for another win tonight could pay off at 7/5 with BoyleSports.

Two of Cremonese's three home games this term have ended in 0-0 draws. That suggests betting against BTTS tonight may offer some value at 20/23.
