Brentford vs West Ham United History
The first-ever meeting between these clubs came towards the end of the 19th century, in the 1898/99 season. Both teams were participating in the Second Division of the Southern League, independent from the Football League established in 1888.
After 26 clashes, Brentford and West Ham met in the FA Cup for the first time in 1927. The teams played out a 1-1 draw at Upton Park before a Fourth Round replay at Griffin Park, which Brentford won by two goals to zero.
In 1933, they first shared a pitch in the Second Division of the Football League. They continued to meet on a regular basis following WWII until Brentford were relegated to the Third Division in 1954.
They would go almost 40 years without facing one another, with West Ham playing top-flight football for much of that period.
The Hammers won the FA Cup in 1964, again in 1975 and for a third time in 1980. They reached the final in 2006, but lost to Liverpool.
More recently, West Ham captured the UEFA Conference League in 2023. At the same time, Brentford had yet to win a major honour for the first time.
• Saïd Benrahma signed for Brentford in 2018, from French side OGC Nice, in a deal worth in the region of £1m. West Ham paid an initial £5m loan fee for Benrahma in 2021 before completing the £25m acquisition of the Algeria winger.
• Winston Reid amassed more than 220 appearances for West Ham, across an 11-year spell with the club. In 2021, the central defender joined Brentford on loan and contributed towards the Bees’ successfully achieving promotion to the Premier League for the first time ever.
Brentford vs West Ham United Head-to-Head
When the Football League reformatted ahead of the 1992/93 season, both these teams were playing in the second tier which had then become known as the new First Division.
Almost four decades passed after the teams had last shared a pitch in 1953/54, and it would be another 28 years until West Ham and Brentford contested a Premier League match for the first time in 2021. This was the first-ever top-flight fixture between these clubs.
The Bees defeated the Hammers home and away in the 2021/22 campaign, with Bryan Mbeumo on the scoresheet at both Brentford Community Stadium and London Stadium.
In 2022/23, Mbeumo was again on the scoresheet as Brentford claimed a 2-0 victory in this fixture. This was only the 50th meeting between the clubs.
Earlier that season, the teams also met in the Third Round of the FA Cup. Saïd Benrahma scored the only goal of the tie for West Ham to win at Brentford’s new stadium for the first time.
