The Bees can fly into the top half of the table
Brentford usually get the better of the Hammers. The first of our tips for Saturday’s match is the home side to be the winner.
West Ham have suffered three consecutive competitive defeats and fallen to 9th place in the Premier League. They were toothless in the 1-0 home defeat against Everton. Aston Villa also beat David Moyes’ side 4-1 in their last domestic away match.
Brentford have a great head-to-head record against West Ham. They have won four of the last five meetings between the sides. Their only defeat was in the FA Cup and they won both Premier League fixtures against the Hammers 2-0 last season.
Despite Ivan Toney’s absence, the Bees have the 7th highest xG in the division with 20.03. They’ve rediscovered their goal-scoring form in recent matches, so they should have enough to get the win on home turf here.
The Bees are favourite, but they are still available at good odds here. We can back Brentford to emerge victorious at the odds of 2.07 on Bet9ja.

The second-half trend provides value
Our next prediction for Brentford vs West Ham is for the second half to be the highest-scoring.
West Ham are short on confidence after a poor run of results and they rank in the bottom half of the Premier League in terms of xG. This should mean they look to keep it tight in the early stages and build their momentum in the match.
The first halves of West Ham’s matches this season have seen an average of just 1.1 goals. However, the second halves of their matches have seen twice as many goals, with an average of 2.2.
Brentford matches have also seen very few goals. The Bees’ first halves have registered 1.2 goals per game, while their second halves have registered 1.6.
We can back the second half to outscore the first half with odds of 2.02 available on Bet9ja.
Brentford vs West Ham United Bet 2: Highest scoring half – second half @ 2.02 Bet9ja
Mbeumo to make it three in a row
The last of our bets for this game is Bryan Mbeumo to score at any time.
Mbeumo started the season in fine form, but suffered a goal-drought afterwards despite putting in some good performances. He has returned to scoring ways in recent matches and his knack for finding the goal could make the difference here.
The striker has enjoyed playing in a more advanced role due to Toney’s suspension. Mbeumo has notched up a goal and an assist in Brentford’s last two matches. He operated as part of a front trio against Burnley before returning to his usual strike pairing at Stamford Bridge.
Mbeumo to score is priced at the odds of 2.02 on Bet9ja
Brentford vs West Ham United Bet 3: Bryan Mbeumo to score @ 2.60 Bet9ja
