Saturday's Premier League clash at the Gtech Community Stadium brings together two teams with very different ambitions—but equal desperation. West Ham United travel to Brentford fighting for survival, while the Bees are pushing hard for European football.

For the Hammers, every point is precious. Sitting just two points above the relegation zone with only four matches remaining, Julen Lopetegui's side have shown signs of life with two wins and a draw in their last three outings. But the schedule doesn't get any easier, and this trip to West London feels like a must-not-lose affair.

On the other side, Brentford are in the thick of a race for continental qualification. Yet Keith Andrews' men have hit a frustrating patch—winless in six Premier League matches, including five draws. That run has prevented them from solidifying sixth place or challenging the top five. With Manchester City and Liverpool still to come, the Bees know they need to take full advantage of home turf here.

There's also a revenge factor at play. West Ham knocked Brentford out of the FA Cup on penalties back on March 9, and the Bees would love nothing more than to return the favor with a crucial three points.

Prediction
Igor Thiago has been Brentford's most dangerous attacker, creating numerous chances in last week's loss to Manchester United despite failing to convert. We expect him to find the net this time around. Brentford 2-1 West Ham.
