1x2 — draw@ 3.55
EV: 32.0%
Model probability for draw (0.37) is higher than the implied probability from odds (0.28), with both teams showing limited attacking output and strong defensive records in recent FA Cup matches. H2H history also supports low-scoring, tight contests.

Most likely single scoreline per model, with Brentford's away defensive record and historical H2H edge. Value depends on available odds.
ou_2_5 — under@ 1.22
EV: -3.0%
Very strong under trend: both teams' FA Cup matches have been low-scoring, and H2H history is dominated by unders. However, bookmaker odds are very short, limiting value.
Match Analysis
This FA Cup tie at the London Stadium is likely to be a low-scoring, cagey encounter. Both West Ham and Brentford have shown strong defensive discipline in the cup, with Brentford especially impressive away from home, keeping clean sheets in both cup outings. Recent form is mixed for both, but Brentford have a significant H2H advantage, having won 7 of the last 10 meetings and rarely conceding. Both teams have struggled to score consistently, and the model expects a tense, tactical battle likely decided by a single goal or potentially heading to a draw after 90 minutes.
