Genk vs West Ham United Predictions

• West Ham are unbeaten away from home since April and have won six of their seven trips this season.
• West Ham have a perfect record of three wins from three in the Europa League.
• Genk have lost five of their last seven games, failing to score in four.

Hammers on verge of qualification

West Ham’s 3-0 win at home to Genk last month took them a huge step closer to the knockout rounds of the Europa League and another win on Thursday could all but secure them the top spot in Group H.

The in-form Hammers hold a perfect record of three wins from three in the group stage and are six points ahead all three of their competitors. They head into this game having won seven of their last nine matches in all competitions and another three points is well within reach.

Genk’s drubbing in London formed part of a terrible run of form for the Belgian side, with a 3-0 loss at home to Gent the following weekend making it five losses on the trot in all competitions. They responded well with maulings of Sint-Eloois-Winkel and Zulte Waragem, but West Ham are much trickier opposition.

Genk to struggle against away-day specialists

David Moyes’ side have actually performed better on the road than at the London Stadium. In fact, they haven’t lost a trip away in any competition since April and they have won six of their seven away days this season.

Backing them to get another win on Thursday looks excellent value, and with the visitors conceding just one goal in their last five competitive fixtures a 2-0 correct score prediction also appeals.
