16th- against 10th spot might not feel all that hot. But: We have the knowledge that makes West Ham United - Brentford (even) more appealing!
- West Ham United is in the worst form (1-0-5)
- Brentford have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for West Ham United and Brentford.
West Ham United form and stats
West Ham United have played 8 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever West Ham United are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
West Ham are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Arsenal.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Leicester City (0-2).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how West Ham United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 4.
Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 16 league games, 12 have contained two goals or less.
The West Ham United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Brentford form and stats
Brentford have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-4-3 (8 played).
Brentford played 2-2 against Tottenham Hotspur in their previous match. It looked so good for Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. Raya had red hot gloves after the game against Tottenham Hotspur, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Manchester City.Brentford are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.
A new game in only three days for Brentford, the Premier League home match versus Liverpool. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Brentford have scored 10 goals in 8 league games away. The Brentford manager Frank has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: two - zero - two (West Ham United wins - draws - Brentford wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
