Brentford vs West Ham prediction 02.05.2026 | Premier League

Brentford have another solid season. They are a mid-table team, but with a chance to sneak into the spots that will bring Europa or Conference League football next year. However, Brentford are winless in their last seven matches, and their form doesn't offer much optimism. In the previous game, Keith Andrews' team lost 2-1 on the road against Manchester United. The teams were pretty even, and splitting points was probably the most realistic outcome, but the hosts' better efficiency was enough for Brentford to leave them empty-handed. 

Brentford's manager, Keith Andrews, was pretty clear about the reasons for defeat against the Red Devils. He pointed out the ruthlessness as the main difference. The boss said that Manchester United was way more clinical, while Brentford weren't able to take enough of their chances. Andrews concluded that his team needs killers in those situations. 

Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo, Vitaly Janelt, Rico Henry, and Jordan Henderson are injured and will not play on Saturday night against West Ham. 

West Ham were terrible this season and could suffer relegation for the first time since 2011. The Hammers are two points above the drop zone and have to find their best form for the final four Premier League rounds. They surely looked well recently, with seven points in the previous three matches. In the most recent outing, West Ham won 2-1 at home against Everton.

West Ham's head coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, was thrilled after a victory in the last Premier League match. He said, "We knew it was going to be tough until the end. It was important that we keep believing, fighting until the last minute. That is something we have in our character, and that is positive for us. It is going to be until the end – keep fighting, keep believing. Tough one, but we are on our path."

Lukasz Fabianski should be the only West Ham player unavailable for the upcoming clash against Brentford.
