David Moyes’ West Ham are on an awful run of form in the Premier League ahead of Monday night’s fixture with Brentford.
Will our AI-powered score predictor pick the Hammers to win at home and end their three-match losing streak?
Brentford will visit the London Stadium on an almost equally poor run of form. The Bees lost four of their last five Premier League games, including each of their last two matches.

Coach Thomas Frank watched his club lose 4-1 to Liverpool at home, without putting up much of a fight. Brentford then lost 1-0 away to Manchester City in an improved performance.
West Ham failed to score in the last 270 minutes of Premier League football. A 3-0 loss to Man United was followed by a 6-0 defeat to Arsenal at home. Nottingham Forest then defeated West Ham 2-0.
Rumours of Moyes being sacked continue to rumble, as many fans believe the Hammers can do better, especially after winning the Conference League last season.
Brentford won their last two head-to-head games versus West Ham in the league by scores of 2-0 and 3-2. Both of those matches were played at Brentford’s GTech Stadium.
Despite their good form in head-to-head games versus West Ham, the Bees lost nine of their last 11 Premier League matches. This could give West Ham the chance to end their losing streak.
The good news for West Ham is their home record. They have a 5W-4D-3L record at home, scoring 18 goals and conceding 17.
Brentford, on the other hand, are not a good road team. Their record is 3W-1D-8L away from the GTech. Five of their last six games on the road were defeats. Frank’s team will start the day just five points above the relegation zone.
West Ham striker Jarrod Bowen leads the team in goal stats. Bowen has 11 goals and two assists. Moyes won’t have the services of either Lucas Paquetta or Kalvin Phillips. The former is injured and the latter is suspended.
Frank will hope forward Bryan Mbeumo can get on the scoresheet. He leads the team in scoring with seven goals. However, Mbeumo won’t play due to an ankle injury. Ivan Toney has four goals since coming back from suspension.
Brentford’s poor away record, five losses in the last six away games, should see them fall to West Ham. Our algorithm predicts a 2-1 West Ham win, as the Hammers end their three-game losing streak.
