What shaped the view
- Brentford should carry home territory, but West Ham's 4-4-1-1 has enough wide counter threat to keep a draw or narrow home win firmly live.
- Official XIs are in: Brentford start Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade and Igor Thiago; West Ham have Bowen and Summerville wide with Castellanos up top. Rico Henry is absent and Henderson is not in the XI.
- Selection: West Ham United +0.75 Asian Handicap at 1.85.

Why it made the board
CompleteWest Ham +0.75 is the cleaner expression than chasing Brentford as a short home favourite. The visitors have enough pace through Bowen and Summerville to hurt Brentford’s advanced wide shape, while the handicap only fully loses if Brentford win by two or more.
Main risk
Tactical Counter: Main fail is tactical: Brentford’s front four pin West Ham deep and turn the match into sustained box pressure. Secondary concern is odds-trap risk if the market is correctly shading Brentford’s home edge.
