On December 30, London Stadium will host the match of the 18th round of the English Premier League, in which West Ham will meet with Brentford. The start of the fight is scheduled for 20:45 European time.
“West Ham”
The club under David Moyes showed good results. Yes, in the last draw, unlike in 2020/2021, it was no longer possible to seriously qualify for the 4th, “champion league” place. But at the same time, it turned out to re-enter the European competition anyway. And in the summer, the owners of the Hammers spent new tens of millions on newcomers. Nevertheless, the Hammers frankly failed the first segment of the championship. For the first 15 matches, only 4 wins and 2 draws were taken, so they went on a long pause above the relegation zone itself. Well, December began with a new defeat, but quite expected – they lost to the leader, Arsenal.
“Brentford”
Since the middle of the last century, the team has not reminded of itself for a very long time. It was lucky that Matthew Benem, who grew up not far from the “bees” stadium, was rooting for them since childhood, having become rich, he decided to “promote” a project that was not someone else’s for himself. He managed to make fairly rapid and dramatic progress. Already last season, Thomas Frank’s wards actually made their debut in the Premier League, and it was expected to finish in the middle of the final table. There were fears that there would be a classic “Season 2”, always difficult for former newcomers. Moreover, it was not possible to keep the main star, Eriksen. But this time the club from Greater London scored points rather smartly. It is noteworthy that the starting segment actually began with the defeat of Manchester United, and ended with a victory over Manchester City. And in December it all started with the reception of Tottenham, in which they led by 2 goals, but did not keep such an advantage.
head-to-head statistics
Promoted to the Premier League, Brentford managed to win both matches against West Ham.
Forecast
Bookmakers tend to wait for a motivated West Ham to win. But, taking into account the statistics of clubs, the “passing” option looks like “total over 2.5 goals” (odds – 1.96) from Parimatch.
