West Ham vs Brentford FA Cup Tips, Bet Builder Predictions & Odds
The fifth round of the FA Cup comes to a conclusion on Monday night, with Brentford travelling to take on a West Ham side much more dangerous than they would have been considered a month or two ago.
The Hammers beat Fulham in the Premier League last week to inch closer towards safety and now are 90 minutes away from a quarter-final spot.
Brentford are in a great position for a run at the cup, sitting safely in midtable and have the luxury of being able to prioritise the cup, whereas West Ham will be caught in two minds over which to target.
We've picked out some football betting tips along with our best free bet offers for the game.
West Ham vs Brentford Tips
Here are our top three betting tips.
Tip 1: West Ham to win
I do fancy West Ham to win this one, considering their recent upturn in form.
They looked like they had no hope a few weeks ago but are now level on points with Nottingham Forest and three points off 15th - you'd argue they are the form team of the four fighting it out.
A win away at Fulham is not to be sniffed at by any stretch, and even though Brentford have surprised everyone this season, I think the bookies have got it wrong to price them as such heavy favourites.
The only thing will be whether Nuno rests his key players in order to keep them fresh for the league, but that would feel a bit like an own goal and potentially damaging for the club as a whole.
Tip 2: Crysencio Summerville to score
There's been one man largely responsible for West Ham's revival, and five goals in five games kick-started the season for Summerville in January, and he's added another two in four since then including winners against Fulham and Burton.
He has quality, a good shot from close or long range and can beat a player one vs one. I'd be surprised if he is still at West Ham next year, and expect him to keep pushing his case between now and May.
Tip 3: West Ham win, Summerville to score and Yarmolyuk to be carded
To round off my two earlier suggestions, I'm backing Brentford midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk to receive a yellow card.
He has nine to his name across all competitions this season, including a run of three in three games that came to an end last week.
He didn't start against Bournemouth on the 3rd, so should be fresh to play the majority of the game this time round.
