Preview: Brentford vs West Ham prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Premier League 2025-26

This will be the third confrontation between these clubs this season.

Brentford FC are now going to lock horns with West Ham United for their matchweek 35 contest of the 2025-26 Premier League. The Gtech Community Stadium is going to witness this interesting outing between these clubs.

The Keith Andrews-led side are coming in after facing a 1-2 loss against Manchester United. They pushed for a late comeback, but their efforts weren’t enough. The Bees still have a chance to secure a UEFA Champions League spot for the upcoming season.

They need to keep fighting and dropping points is not an option for them if they want to compete in the elite European competition. Brentford are currently placed ninth on the league table with 13 wins in 34 matches.

The Hammers are coming in after bagging a 2-1 win against Everton in their last matchup. They netted in a late goal to secure three crucial points. Even though Nuno Espírito Santo’s men are out of the relegation zone at the moment, they still have a chance of facing a demotion.

Having won nine of their 34 fixtures, West Ham United are in 17th place on the Premier League points table. They will be away from home and it is surely going to build some pressure on them from the start.

In 34 league games of the ongoing campaign, Igor Thiago has scored 21 goals and has an assist to his name. He is also in a Golden Boot race alongside Erling Haaland.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)

Jarrod Bowen has once again played an important role in the squad for West Ham United this season. He bagged two assists in the previous fixture for the Hammers.
