West Ham
- West Ham have won one, tied one and lost three of their last five Premier League games.
- Nuno Espirito Santo has only been in charge of West Ham since late September but has quickly got the Hammers playing his pragmatic 4-2-3-1 system, which prioritises defensive solidity and transition play.
- West Ham have lost all three of their home Premier League matches this season, averaging 0.67 goals per game at the London Stadium.
Brentford
- Brentford have won two, tied one and lost two of their last five in the league.
- Keith Andrews has kept Bees playing the way they did under Thomas Frank since he took over as head coach in June 2025.
- His high-energy system involves lots of pressing and winning the ball back high up the pitch, with lots of creativity and variation from set pieces.
- Brentford have lost all their away games too, conceding an average of 2.67 goals per away match.
Head-to-Head
There is nothing to separate these two teams in the head-to-head, with two wins each and one tie in their last five meetings in all competitions, but Brentford won the last away meeting 1-0 eight months ago. Our West Ham vs Brentford prediction points to another close contest.
Key Players
- Igor Thiago is their talisman, having netted four times in his seven Premier League outings to date.
- Jarrod Bowen is their main scoring threat with three goals in seven league games, and Malick Diouf has provided three assists in seven Premier League appearances.
Betting Insights
- West Ham host Brentford in this London Premier League derby on Monday, and the bookmakers are giving no clear preference between the two sides in the match result market with the hosts at 2.49, Bees at 2.94 and the tie at 3.65. According to this West Ham vs Brentford betting tips analysis, the odds reflect just how evenly matched these sides are.
- The Over 2.5 goals market is the standout bet at 1.9 because these clubs are both struggling defensively and this clash of styles could see an open game.
- Brentford are 16th with seven points from seven Premier League assignments in 2025-2026 while West Ham are 19th with just four.
Prediction
- West Ham have not won or tied in their last two at the London Stadium, losing 1-2 to Crystal Palace in their most recent home game, so the draw looks as good a bet as either of the favourites in this contest, reinforcing our West Ham vs Brentford betting tips.
- Backing Over 2.5 goals also makes sense because this is a clash of contrasting styles that could easily end in a 2-2 tie or 1-0 win to either.
