Leeds United v West Ham United - Premier League
Leeds United v West Ham United - Premier League

West Ham United will look to keep their good run going as they take on an exciting Brentford side on Sunday at the London Stadium.

West Ham United registered their second win of their Europa League campaign in midweek, beating Rapid Vienna 2-0 at home. Declan Rice and Said Benrahma were on target for the Hammers. David Moyes did not shy away from rotating the squad and his players rose to the occasion to deliver a positive result.

It's been a good week and a half for Moyes' men. They eliminated Manchester United from the EFL Cup before clinching all three points against Leeds United in second-half stoppage time. The victory against Rapid Vienna made it three wins in a row across all competitions.

They will look to keep that momentum going but Moyes and his players will be well aware of the threat that the newly promoted Brentford side possesses.

Brentford held Liverpool to an exciting 3-3 draw at home last weekend thanks to goals from Ethan Pinnock, Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa. Thomas Frank's men don't give up and their direct brand of football has caused plenty of trouble for Premier League teams so far.

The Bees have conceded just one defeat so far and are sitting ninth in the Premier League table with nine points from six games. Their Sunday opponents West Ham United have 11 points from six. The London Stadium is a difficult place to visit but Thomas Frank and co. will be raring to prove a point.

West Ham United vs Brentford Head-to-Head

  • This will be the first meeting between the two sides since their Division 1 encounter in 1993.
  • This will be the first time that the Hammers will square off against the Bees in the top division of English football. All of their meetings till date have taken place in the second tier.
  • West Ham United have a poor record when it comes to facing teams for the first time in the top-flight. They have lost all of their last four games against such opponents.
  • Brentford have conceded just one loss in their last nine London derbies.
  • West Ham United have been formidable at home. They lost to Manchester United last weekend but they have lost consecutive home matches only once since Moyes took over in January 2020.

West Ham United vs Brentford Prediction

The London Stadium is a tough place to go to and come away with points. But Brentford will believe anything is possible, particularly after their 3-3 draw against an in-form Liverpool side.

The Hammers have played some good football so far this season and so have the Bees. Brentford will push West Ham on Sunday and this ought to be nothing short of a thriller.

Prediction: West Ham United 2-2 Brentford
