WEST HAM
West Ham are currently 10th on the table, but on a poor run that has seen them lose their last 3 matches in a row and only take 2 points from their last 5 games. Last time out they were away at Nottingham where they lost 2-0 and the week before that they were hammered 6-0 at home by Arsenal. They have only taken 2 points from the last 9 they have played for in front of their own fans.
50% of West Ham’s home games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and 5 of their 12 matches have reached the 4 goal mark.
BRENTFORD
Brentford are 15th on the log and have had 1 win and 4 defeats in their last 5 games. They are coming off a brave 1-0 away defeat to Manchester City and prior to that were hammered 4-1 at home by Liverpool.
Brentford have lost 4 and won 1 of their last 5 away matches and 50% of Brentford’s away games have reached the 3 goal mark although only 2 of them have gone on to have 4 goals or more in them.
Head-to-Head
Brentford beat West Ham 3-2 at home earlier in the season and they have won their last 4 League matches against the Hammers.

West Ham 15/10
Draw 26/10
Brentford 7/4
The bookies are struggling to separate these teams and I do think we are in for a close game between two sides, both desperate for points. Brentford have the head-to-head edge over West Ham, but I think the value here lies in backing the draw.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 26/10
Over 2.5 goals is trading at 15/20 and while that arrived comfortably in the reverse fixture, both teams are in a very different mind space at the moment and with 4 out of the last 5 head-to-head’s across all competitions delivering 2 goals or less I think the bet here could be under 2.5 goals.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 11/10
