Brentford vs West Ham prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 28, 2024
One of the matches of the sixth round of the Premier League will take place on Saturday at the Brentford Community Stadium, where Brentford will host West Ham. Here's a prediction from the expert team at Dailysports.
Brentford
Brentford has been steadily progressing since entering the Premier League, but last season saw the Bees slow down, finishing in 16th place, though they were 13 points clear of the relegation zone.
The new season has started on a positive note for Brentford: they secured a comeback victory over Crystal Palace (2-1) and put in a solid performance away to Liverpool, losing 0-2. In the third round, Brentford confidently defeated Southampton 3-1. However, following the international break, the Bees suffered back-to-back defeats against Manchester City (1-2) and Tottenham (1-3).
West Ham
West Ham parted ways with David Moyes over the summer, despite winning the Europa Conference League under his management. The Hammers' ninth-place finish in the Premier League last season was deemed insufficient, leading to a managerial change.
Julen Lopetegui has since taken over, with the club making significant investments in strengthening the squad. However, the results so far have been underwhelming. Last weekend, West Ham suffered a 0-3 home defeat to Chelsea, followed by a heavy 1-5 loss to Liverpool in the League Cup midweek.
