Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 57
West Ham wins: 24
Draws: 12
Brentford wins: 21
Meeting regularly during the early to mid-20th century and again following Brentford's rise to Premier League level, the Bees and West Ham United have now crossed paths on 57 occasions in all competitions.
The Irons hold the bragging rights in terms of victories, albeit only just, as they have earned 24 wins over Brentford compared to 21 for the Bees, while another 12 contests have ended all square.
Neither meeting between the two sides in the 2024-25 Premier League season delivered a classic, as only a Kevin Schade goal separated them in a 1-0 triumph for Brentford at the London Stadium in February 2025.
In one of the rare occasions in that same season when a Brentford home game did not deliver a glut of goals, Thomas Frank's men were held to a 1-1 draw by the Julen Lopetegui-led Irons, as Tomas Soucek cancelled out yet another one-minute goal from Bryan Mbeumo.
That two-goal stalemate marked the first draw between the two London rivals since 1992, as Brentford had previously dominated their London foes in Premier League circumstances, winning each of their first five meetings in the competition.
That hot streak was snapped in February 2024, where Jarrod Bowen bagged a hat-trick in a pulsating 4-2 home win for David Moyes's West Ham, who also overcame Brentford 1-0 in the third round of the 2022-23 FA Cup amid their frequent Premier League defeats.
An early streak of dominance has helped West Ham gain the overall edge over Brentford in the head-to-head column, as the Hammers prevailed in each of their first six battles from 1898 to 1903, when the two clubs competed in the top two tiers of the Southern League.
With a total of five goals to his name in this fixture, Bowen is currently the highest scorer in matches between Brentford and West Ham for which there is reliable data, while Mbeumo is not too far behind with four of his own.
