Match Prediction: West Ham United 2-1 Brentford

West Ham are coming off a tough run, but they've shown they can still pack a punch, especially away from home. Their recent win against Nottingham Forest could give them the boost they need. Brentford, on the other hand, have been a bit up and down but can be dangerous on their day, as seen in their win against Manchester United. This match could be a tight affair with both teams looking to exploit any weaknesses.

Expect West Ham to come out strong, trying to control the game with their midfield. Brentford will likely look to hit on the counter, using their pace up front. It's going to be a battle of wits and resilience, with both teams desperate for the three points.

West Ham have had a rough patch lately, losing three out of their last five games. Their only win came against Nottingham Forest, which might give them some confidence. The loss to Arsenal showed their defensive frailties, but they'll be looking to tighten up at home. If they can get their key players firing, they stand a good chance against Brentford.
