West Ham becoming fond of UEFA competitions

West Ham are quickly becoming fond of UEFA club competitions having reached the Semi-Final of last years Europa League. The Hammers have won both of their group stage matches in this year’s Europa Conference League and currently sit top of Group B. David Moyes’ side are now unbeaten in their last four away group stage games in UEFA competitions and came from behind to beat Silkenborg in their last Group B game.

West Ham’s two Group B matches to date have averaged 4.5 goals per game and a clean sheet for the visitors on Thursday looks unlikely – West Ham have kept three clean sheets in 13 matches this season.

Thursday could be the final straw for Mazzu

Anderlecht boss Felice Mazzu is under extreme pressure and defeat on Thursday could well be the final straw for the Belgian. Anderlecht have won two of their last eight matches in all competitions and currently find themselves lingering in the bottom half of the Belgian topflight. Despite remaining unbeaten in Group B, Anderlecht have failed to set the world alight and the Belgian side were bitterly disappointing in their last Europa Conference League game in Bucharest. Anderlecht mustered four shots on goal in the entire on the way to securing a 0-0 draw in Romania.

West Ham to win in the outright market will be the main selection for Thursday’s game, with a 2-1 away victory forming the Correct Score prediction.
