The 26th round of the English Premier League will conclude with a match between West Ham and Brentford, set to take place on Monday at the London Olympic Stadium. Here's a prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
West Ham
Thanks to a successful streak, the Hammers ascended to sixth place towards the end of last year, seemingly poised to contend for European spots. However, since the new year, David Moyes' side has undergone a notable transformation. West Ham has failed to secure a victory in any of their six Premier League matches and was eliminated from the FA Cup, yielding to Bristol City. Last weekend, the Hammers suffered a 0-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest away from home, conceding both goals in added time of each half. As a result, West Ham has plummeted to ninth place, and without improvement in their performances, there's a risk of descending further down the league table.
Brentford
The Bees started well in the Premier League, but gradually, their results have deteriorated, and currently, Thomas Frank's team sits in 15th place in the league standings. Brentford has amassed 25 points from 25 matches. They are five points clear of the relegation zone. Ahead of their clash with the Hammers, the team is coming off a narrow 0-1 away defeat to Manchester City. This defeat marks their fourth loss in the last five matches, with only one victory during this period. On the road, Brentford has managed just three victories in 12 matches in the current Premier League campaign, suffering eight defeats.
