West Ham United vs Brentford Preview

The London Stadium prepares to host a crucial London derby as West Ham United welcome Brentford on Monday evening, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 GMT. This encounter between two clubs separated by just a few miles represents a fascinating contrast in fortunes, as the struggling Hammers seek redemption against visitors who have shown flashes of quality amid their own inconsistencies. West Ham arrive in desperate circumstances, having accumulated just four points from their last five fixtures, a dismal return that has left them searching for answers and urgently requiring a revival, while the Bees have compiled five points from their previous five outings, suggesting they possess the resilience to trouble opponents even when not at their absolute best. This clash promises to deliver the intensity and competitive edge that makes London derbies essential viewing for football purists.

The Hammers’ recent form paints a deeply concerning picture for the home faithful. Their most recent outing delivered a painful 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on October 4th, extending their woeful run and intensifying pressure throughout the club. Before that, they earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Everton on September 29th, demonstrating defensive resolve if not attacking potency. On September 20th, they suffered a narrow 1-2 home defeat to Crystal Palace, a result that exposed their vulnerability at the London Stadium. A 0-3 home thrashing at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur on September 13th laid bare their defensive frailties, while their solitary victory in this sequence came with a 0-3 away triumph at Nottingham Forest on August 31st, offering a distant glimmer of hope in an otherwise nightmarish period. With one win, one draw, and three defeats from five matches, West Ham approach this fixture desperately needing three points to ease the mounting pressure.

Brentford’s recent journey reveals a side battling through mixed results with characteristic determination. Their most recent fixture saw them suffer a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Manchester City on October 5th, a respectable result against the former champions that demonstrated their competitive spirit. Before that, they secured an impressive 3-1 home victory over Manchester United on September 27th, showcasing their capacity to trouble elite opposition. On September 20th, they endured a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Fulham in a West London derby. A 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on September 16th was preceded by a 2-2 home draw with Chelsea on September 13th, results that highlight their ability to compete against top-six opponents even if victories remain elusive. With one win, two draws, and two defeats from five matches, the Bees arrive at the London Stadium knowing they face opponents in crisis and vulnerable to further punishment.

The historical narrative between these London rivals reveals Brentford’s recent dominance in this fixture. The last five meetings have produced three Brentford victories, one draw and one West Ham win. Most significantly, when these sides met in February 2025, Brentford claimed a narrow 0-1 away victory at the London Stadium, demonstrating their capacity to succeed in hostile territory. Previous encounters include a 1-1 draw in September 2024, a remarkable 4-2 West Ham home triumph in February 2024, a 3-2 Brentford home win in November 2023, and a 2-0 Brentford home victory in May 2023. This psychological advantage will bolster the visitors’ confidence as they travel across London seeking to extend their unbeaten run against the Hammers.
