30th December 2022 – 20:45, London Stadium, London
West Ham and Brentford will kick off the Premier League 18th round on Friday evening. The home side wants to stop its losing streak, while the visitors look forward to continuing their unbeatable run.
West Ham Preview & Team News
West Ham United won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 3-1 Premier League defeat in their previous game at the hands of Arsenal. Although they had a half-time lead, the Hammers suffered their fourth straight defeat. They are now sitting in a disappointing 16th place, just a point ahead of the relegation zone. It has been a rare occasion in recent games that West Ham United has managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that West Ham United has seen its defense breached in 5 of their previous six games, leaking ten goals on the way. They need to start picking up points not to enter into big trouble.
Brentford Preview & Team News
In their last game, Brentford drew 2-2 in the Premier League match with Tottenham Hotspur. It was their fourth straight game without tasting a defeat, keeping them safe in the middle of the table. Brentford has been dangerous up the front of late, having scored eight times in their last six matches. Having said that, Brentford has had its issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. Coming into this clash, Brentford is unbeaten in their previous two league matches away from home. Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there is only a single fitness issue for the Brentford manager Thomas Frank to be concerned with. Aaron Hickey (Ankle Injury) misses out for this game.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The Hammers are in a pretty challenging moment, and they don’t have the right for mistakes when playing at home. Despite their poor form, we think West Ham is capable of getting important three points in this encounter.
Goals Market Prediction
West Ham has had issues in the final third this season, while Brentford has been involved in many high-scoring matches lately. We should see an entertaining clash with at least one goal in each net.
