West Ham preview
West Ham has suffeered four consecutive defeats in the Premier League, are that is a clear sign that the very good manager, David Moyes, is not being able to figure out a team that is having one of the worst campaigns in recent seasons.
It is true that, upon coming back to action, they had to play against Arsenal, the team of the moment, which has not stopped winning, and which is at the top, but West Ham started the game well, and with a penalty scored by Benrahma, it seemed that things were getting complicated for the Gunners. However, in a fast-paced second half, Arsenal swept them aside with a 3-1 win. There is no doubt that West Ham has within its team the players to have a better season.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Lukasz Fabianski; Vladimir Coufal, Craig Dawson, Thilo Kehrer, Aaron Cresswell; Tomas Soucek, Declan Rice; Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Said Benrahma; Michail Antonio.
Brentford Preview
Brentford had everything in hand for a post-World Cup comeback that would rise to the circumstances, but everything they had built came crashing down. In their last game, they had taken a 2-0 lead against the mighty Tottenham, and looked set to go for the win. However, Antonio Conte’s team imposed its hierarchy and tied a match that almost ended up being turned around.
This supposed a clean slate for Brentford, a team populated by Danes – starting with their coach, Thomas Frank – who showed signs of being a serious team in that opening hour when they scored with Janelt and Toney.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): David Raya; Mathias Jorgensen, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee; Mads Roerslev, Mathias Jensen, Vitaly Janelt, Christian Norgaard, Rico Henry; Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney.
JefeBet Prediction
Brentford showed a positive side in the draw against Tottenham. West Ham, on the other hand, does not give the impression of being a reliable team. The visitors have what it takes to win a game that will be tough for both teams.
Prediction: Brentford wins 1-0.
