Brentford vs West Ham Prediction: the Hosts to Take Revenge

Prediction for the FA Cup Brentford vs West Ham match, which will take place on January 7th. Brentford has not suffered a single defeat since the World Cup break. The next cup game is against West Ham, whom the Bees beat 2:0 on December 31. Will David Moyes' charges get revenge? Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Brentford successfully returned from a month's break without a single loss. Thomas Frank's side claimed two wins and one draw. They beat West Ham away (2:0), and Liverpool at home (3:1) drew with Tottenham (2:2), although the Bees were leading 2:0 at the start. Thus, they strengthened their standings position, sitting in ninth place with 26 points. That's two points less than Liverpool.

West Ham has had a horrendous stretch since the end of October. At that time, the Hammers had suffered five consecutive defeats, crashed out of the EFL Cup because of Blackburn, and only this year ended this streak. In 2023, David Moyes' side drew with Leeds (2:2). That's how they made it to the survival zone, but the gap from the relegation zone is counted not in points but in goals.

Brentford is deservedly the favorite of the meeting, but the opposite is true in cup matches. At this stage, West Ham needs a win more. The Bees need to strengthen their top 10 position to avoid the relegation zone. In addition, we have no doubts about the performance. The home side will have Ivan Toney back in action, who hasn't left the pitch without a goal lately, while the Hammers finally were generous on goals against Leeds.
