The draw on Sunday with Premier League leaders Arsenal (2-2) should give the “Hammers” a huge boost of confidence ahead of the return leg of the Conference League quarter-finals. The peaceful outcome in the first match with a delicate score of 1-1 is part of a series of three games without a loss. The London Stadium has been a European stronghold for the “Hammers” this season, as they have won all five CL matches here, preserving the draw in the last two. As fears of relegation diminish, West Ham fans are hoping for another memorable European evening, roughly 59 years after their first-ever UEFA tournament match in London, which happened to be against “Gent” or “St. Ghent,” as it was called then. Agred, Scamacca, and Ogbonna, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards, will not be able to take the field.
The draws in the first game were clearly not enough for the Belgian team to confidently travel to the capital of England. Nevertheless, the team will try to extend their unbeaten run, which has stretched since the end of February. Three of these last matches ended in a 1-1 draw, which, if repeated today, could lead to a series of penalties, as it was in the match against “Qarabag.” Their overall success with a score of 5-2 against “Basaksehir” in the round of 16 allowed them to progress after a home draw, and that is precisely what they are trying to repeat here. This was their only away win in seven attempts in the Conference League, so the players may regret not using more of the chances they missed in the first match against the English club. Yulzaper, Lemaich, and Marre, who has a muscle injury, will not take to the football field today. More successful soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
