Our Prediction for West Ham vs Brentford
The team from the "Olympic Stadium" decided to replace Moyes, who won them the Conference League, with Lopetegui last summer. But neither he nor his successor Potter managed to deliver results, despite a number of expensive newcomers. After a disastrous start to the new season, a new manager, Nuno Espírito Santo, was appointed in September. He began with a draw away at Everton, but then suffered another defeat—0-2 to Arsenal.
Their neighbor last season collected 56 points, finishing in the top 10 of the final table. However, in the summer, Frank was lured away to Tottenham. He was replaced by Keith Andrews, but the results have been inconsistent so far, with most matches being losses. However, there were wins against Aston Villa and Manchester United, and in the League Cup they knocked out Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
Lucas Paquetá and company are averaging just 0.86 goals scored per match while conceding 2.29. Their opponent also has a negative ratio, but not as bad: 1.29 scored and 1.71 conceded per match.
