Prediction published on 10/10/2021, 04:04  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

West Ham United’s fine run in the season continued in midweek with a 2-0 home win over Rapid Vienna, and they’ll be eyeing more of that when they host Brentford in the Premier League. The Hammers go to this fixture placed seventh with 11 points while Brentford are ninth on nine points. West Ham have three straight wins, and have won four of their last five matches, scoring twice in three of the last five games. This season, they’ve only failed to score in one of their nine matches and they will go here eyeing a second straight win in the league, after beating Leeds United in their last league outing. Four of West Ham’s last five league games have produced over 2.5 goals and they have no clean sheets in the three league games at home.

Brentford are enjoying their return to the topflight and ahead of this game, they forced a 3-3 draw with Liverpool. They have scored 12 goals in just their last three matches, though that tally is boosted by a 7-0 win over Oldham in the League Cup. Of the three promoted teams, Brentford rank the highest and a consistent attack has been central to this, the team having failed to score in just one of their last five matches. They have played three away games in the league, and remain unbeaten, with one win in there. This will be the third London Derby Brentford takes part in this season in the league; they’ve already beaten Arsenal and drawn with Crystal Palace, on both occasions keeping clean sheets.
