The visitors are just two points clear of the bottom three with four matches left in their Premier League season as a 2W-1D stretch has West Ham out of the relegation zone but looking at daunting few games. One of those is this trip to Brentford, as Keith Andrews' men are in the thick of a push for European qualification. The Bees are also winless in six Premier League matches, including five draws, and the lack of wins has stopped them from seizing hold of sixth place or even threatening the top five.
With Man City and Liverpool still to come, Brentford could truly use these three points by getting a measure of revenge on a team that knocked it out of the FA Cup after penalties on March 9.

Brentford v West Ham prediction
Igor Thiago could be the difference maker after producing but failing to convert numerous chances in a Week 34 loss to Manchester United. We'll guess that he finds the score sheet in a win. Brentford 2-1 West Ham.
