They haven’t scored in three games, whilst conceding 11 in the process. Brentford aren’t performing much better and have lost nine of their last 11 league games.

Brentford to claim the vital victory in London derby

Looking at the odds provided by Bet9ja, this is a tough game to call a winner, but still West Ham are the slight favourite. I am happy to take on a side with no win in eight, having suffered losses in their last three games, scoring none and conceding 11.

Brentford’s recent stats aren’t much better, with only two wins in six games since their talisman, Ivan Toney, returned. On a positive note, the four defeats were against Tottenham, Liverpool and Man City (twice). The two wins were against Nottingham Forest at home and Wolves away, both sides of similar calibre to their opponents here.

Bet 1: Brentford to win @ 2.78 with Bet9ja

Action expected at both ends

These two sides have suffered a tough run of fixtures and both have most likely marked this down as a game they expect to win. The pressure is once again growing on David Moyes in West Ham’s hot seat. Meanwhile, Brentford are only five points above the drop zone. This should lead to an open encounter as both managers chase the three points.

Brentford have won all five league head-to-heads and have scored at least two goals in all of them, including the reverse fixture in November which ended 3-2. The Hammers have shipped at least two goals in four of their last five league games.

Bet 2: Brentford Over 1.5 Goals @ 2.28 with Bet9ja

Ivan to set the Tone and unleash Bees’ sting

Ivan Toney has to form part of these tips as he is Brentford’s talisman. The 27-year-old wasted no time on his return to action from an eight-month ban.

He has scored in four of his six appearances, including in two of the three away games. As he is Brentford’s penalty taker, there is an added value in the odds of 2.90 for him to get on the scoresheet again, just like he did in this fixture last season.

Rely on Emerson to tackle Hammers’ poor form

When things are going bad, the least supporters expect is hard work and passion from their players, even if results don’t go their way. One player who is showing he is up for the fight is Emerson Palmieri.

Emerson to make over 2.5 tackles is the last of my predictions, as I see him continuing his recent strong trend. The 29-year-old has made at least two tackles in each of his last 15 league appearances, with three or more in the last four.

However, he has made 26 tackles in his last seven outings at the London Stadium at home, with a minimum of three in six of those.
