How to watch** Brentford vs West Ham live Free On Tv Channel 2024
Question detail
Brentford will try to score less than 30 seconds after kickoff for the third week running, only this time maybe they can protect an early lead and snap their two-game skid, when they host West Ham in west London on Saturday.
Yoane Wissa got the Bee off the mark in 22 seconds against Manchester City two weeks ago, and Bryan Mbeumo did the same against Tottenham last weekend — though he needed an extra second or two. It didn’t help matters that they were away from home in both games, tasked with the impossible: defend a one-goal lead for 89 minutes against two of the most aggressive attacking teams in the world. To that point, no side in the Premier League has dropped more points (36) from a winning position since the start of last season (Nottingham Forest second, with 32). Better times could lie ahead after facing a trio of top-five finishers in their first five games of the season, though injuries are once again starting to pile up, as they tend to do for Thomas Frank’s side.
Meanwhile, Julen Lopetegui is already facing scrutiny after West Ham lost their opening three home league games for the first time in club history. Despite the Hammers’ last two managers (Lopetegui and David Moyes) being known as defensive-minded pragmatists, West Ham have conceded five more goals (53) than any other side in the PL (Wolves) during the calendar year 2024. To make Saturday’s matchup even worse, no side in the PL has conceded more goals in the opening five minutes of games in 2024; West Ham have conceded five, no other side has conceded more than two.
