West Ham United vs FCSB Predictions

• West Ham have lost one of their last six home matches in European competitions (W4, D1)
• West Ham won both of the matches in their qualifying tie by two or more goals
• Bucharest currently sit fourth bottom of the Romanian topflight

West Ham have fond memories in Europe

West Ham have made a slow start in the Premier League and focus can now be diverted to the Europa Conference League in the hope they can better last season’s Europa League semi-final appearance. West Ham have lost one of their last six home matches in European competitions (W4, D1) and should have little trouble brushing aside a Bucharest side who arrive in London in woeful form. David Moyes will be hoping a win on Thursday can kick-start their league campaign.

Bucharest’s form inspires little confidence

Bucharest currently sit fourth bottom in the Romanian topflight and Nicolae Dica’s side must be devoid of confidence heading into Thursday’s game. Bucharest have taken one point from their three away league games this season and the quality of opposition they faced to qualify for the Group Stages of this competition inspire little confidence. Bucharest overcame opponents from Romania and Norway to get this far and should the hosts get an early goal on Thursday, the Romanian side may well fold.

Backing West Ham on the -1 handicap will be the main selection for Thursday’s game, with a 3-0 home win forming the Correct Score prediction – West Ham won both of the matches in their qualifying tie by two or more goals, whilst Bucharest have lost two of their three away league matches this season by a two-goal margin.
