Brentford vs West Ham Match Preview

Brentford welcomes West Ham for the 36th matchday of the English Premier League.

Brentford fought against Liverpool on the road but in the end could not avoid a 1-0 defeat. They were behind in the score from the first quarter of the match, after that they were not threatened too much by their great opponent, but on the other hand they were not able to attack.

So Brentford lost a short 3-match unbeaten run in an excellent season as they have secured their place in Premier League from very early on, while the end of the previous matchday found them in 10th place with 50 points.

A great victory for West Ham in the previous matchday, they beat 1-0 Manchester United. It was a deserved victory as they were better and they were the team that showed they wanted the win more and they did it with a goal scored in the first half. With this victory West Ham made a huge leap to stay in the division as they reached 37 points with a safety distance of 6 points from the bottom three of the ranking.

On Thursday, London's team played for the first semi-final of the UEFA Europa Conference League and prevailed at home over Alkmaar 2-1 taking a narrow lead to qualify for the final of the competition. It will follow the remach next week in the Netherlands.

Brentford has no point interest and goes into this match without stress for a prestigious victory. West Ham, for their part, want a point or points that will mathematically guarantee them to remain n the league, having also their European tasks in mind. Brentford is used to setting a fast pace in front of their fans and West Ham may easily follow this pace. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at 1.93 odds.
