West Ham vs Brentford Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

Joe Vaughan 03 Mar 2026
  • Brentford have tended to have the edge on West Ham since gaining promotion, but managerial changes for both sides could change when they meet at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Monday night (20:00 KO, live on Sky Sports).

    The Bees have lost their first three away trips under Keith Andrews, which makes them the perfect opponents as Nuno Espirito Santo prepares for a first home game as West Ham boss.

Why We’re Backing West Ham to Win @ 8/5 with AK Bets

  • Only three sides have produced fewer shots on target than Brentford this term.
  • Brentford lost only three away games against teams outside the top six last term, but this season they have already lost at Sunderland, Fulham and Nottingham Forest.
  • West Ham showed improvement in Nuno’s first game in charge, coming from behind to draw 1-1 at Everton.
  • West Ham have faced a tough start to their home campaign, facing Chelsea, Tottenham and Crystal Palace, but this contest represents an easier assignment.

Why We’re Backing Michael Kayode Card & Soungoutou Magassa 2+ Fouls @ 5/1 with Bet365

  • Michael Kayode is averaging over one foul per 90 minutes, while he faces a difficult matchup against tricky West Ham forward Crysencio Summerville.
  • Summerville has already drawn 10 fouls so far this season.
  • Soungoutou Magassa played a key role in recovering the ball against Everton in Nuno’s debut.
  • The Frenchman made two fouls in that clash, while he averaged 1.4 fouls per game across his last two campaigns in Ligue 1.

West Ham United Form/Stats

  • West Ham picked up one point from their first two games under Nuno, but this is the new manager’s home debut.
  • The most notable improvement since Nuno took charge is in goal, as their shots saved percentage has jumped from 43% across the first five gameweeks to over 80% in his first two matches.

Brentford Form/Stats

  • Brentford have lost all three of their away trips so far this season.

Player to Watch

Summer-signing Mateus Fernandes has injected some dynamism into the West Ham midfield, which has been sorely lacking since the start of last season.

The Portuguese played under Graham Potter in his first three games as a Hammer, but he’s grown in influence under Nuno.

He has completed 90 minutes in both of the new coach’s first two games in charge. His touches have gone up, while he has made nine tackles across those two games.

Fernandes has attempted and completed more passes since Potter departed, while he has more opportunities to drive the team forward.

Fernandes almost feels like a signing made with Potter’s replacement in mind. He’s going to be key to the Hammers breaking in transition.

While it isn’t quite the West Ham way, Fernandes can be the driving force behind some aggressive counter attacks, which could get the home support out of their seats.
